Presented the 2010 Giro.
Opportunity offers a great return for the presentation of the Tour of Italy 2010. The archived edition of the Centennial, the most exciting in the epilogue (drop Menchov during the last time trial in Rome) and in hundreds of kilometers, the Giro, the intention of the organizers can come and offer steps to reconcile climbers , sprinters and lovers of leaks from a distance. 21 stages spread over 3418km provided. The longer the eleventh Lucera-Aquila 256 km. The return of the historic mountain: Zoncolan, Mortirolo, Aprica and attached to the Cima Coppi Gavia. Do not miss the time trial at Plan de Corones.
Tour of Italy, still out of most of the South Departure from Amsterdam.
The analysis starts with the opening of the Tour which will see the caravan Rosa from Dutch territory level (for many kilometers you will travel under the sea level), Amsterdam will be the reference point for the first three days of the Giro. Now given that the race is called the Tour of Italy and as always are a few stages in the South, it was better organized in some stages than in regions such as Calabria, Basilicata and Sicily almost always cut off from the program? The top of the table what it has to envy to the outskirts of Amsterdam? Not easy to do local pride, but when the tour is a holiday so why call it the Tour of Italy and stay in Bitonto (Peninsula to the south)? Luckily to the undersigned (the Pa MADAPA) tadpoles will pass along the Casilina at the junction between Calvi and Sparanise Risorta (Stage 9, May 17 (onomastics PA) Frosinone-Cava de 'Tirreni), and then assist in the ritual of the National People's passage the Tour, but many will not be able to prove such a joy. For Zomegnan Italy ends in Bitonto.
Departure Orange .
It starts on May 8 in Holland. Individual time trial through the streets of Amsterdam to decide the first pink jersey. Then, before returning to Italy in two stages in the land of tulips, more flights from Amsterdam before you arrive in Utrecht (university city), and Middelburg. Stages for sprinters it runs below the sea level, but the wind blowing from the Atlantic could handle the race. Attention to the fans.

We cross the Apennines, thought amazing to the forwards. The seventh stage brings the riders strong. In the 215 km-Carrara Montalcino will be two sections of dirt road: roads and Crete Senesi in the last 30 miles to the monastery and Good Poggio Civitella. For men from classic? Tribute to Gino Bartali, ten years after his death. The week closes with a bang. Chianciano Terme eighth stage-Terminillo 189 km. First uphill finish, as the natural stage Zoncolan.

The thirteenth stage in Cesenatico arrives home after 222km of Marco Pantani, after a detour from the coast to the interior with some roughness around San Marino. Step number fourteen by 201 km, with slopes of Monte Grappa 14% to less than 50km from the finish, which affects up more legs than on the standings, means of escape, arrival is at Asolo, you risk having reached the summit of Grappa.
