Here’s your chance to ride each stage of the most

atmospheric Grand Tour on the same days the pros

do. There will be predawn starts and episodes of

existential suffering. But there will also be unforget-

table moments—grinding up the legendary climbs

of the Dolomites with the tifosi cheering you on,

crossing all 21 Giro finish lines, an endless string

of sublime coffee breaks, and VIP seating. Count

on three weeks of full support and hearty Italian

meals. For those who lack the time, fitness, or hubris

to tackle the entire thing, you can sign up to ride

three to nine stages in the same manner. BYO bike

or rent a Bianchi Infinito CV Disc with Ultegra Di2.

Roughly 2,200 miles total / Up to 24 days /

$13,000 / Advanced
