The multi-week Giro d'Italia is officially back for 2024. Below, we've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch the Giro d'Italia races, including free live streams. Better yet, the same free method will also cover you for the Tour de France.
The Giro d'Italia marks the first of the three Grand Tour cycling races each year, followed by the Tour de France in July and the Vuelta a España in August. The multi-stage race runs the length of Italy, even veering into a few other regions, and takes place over 21 stages, held almost daily (most Mondays are rest days). The portion of the race that passes through the Alps provides a particular challenge each year.
Last year's victor was Primož Roglič of UCI WorldTeam Bora—Hansgrohe, who has opted to forgo the race this year to train for the Tour de France this summer. Before the start of Giro d'Italia, Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates became a top contender for the 2024 race. Benjamin Thomas of Team Cofidis won the Stage 5 breakaway on Wednesday and has maintained a lead throughout.
