The prestigious “Giro d’Italia,” one of the world’s most renowned cycling tours, will make its debut in Albania in May 2024, with three opening stages of the race taking place across the country.

To officially introduce the event, a press conference will be held today at the Prime Minister’s Office, with Prime Minister Edi Rama in attendance.

Founded in 1909 in collaboration with “Gazzetta dello Sport,” “Giro d’Italia” is one of the most important cycling events globally, broadcast by leading media outlets in Italy and over 200 sports channels worldwide.

Hundreds of cyclists will participate in the event over the course of a week, with several exciting activities planned.

The “Giro d’Italia Grande Partenza” is a rare event, having been held outside of Italy only 14 times in the race’s 114-year history.
