Genoa – The Ligurian capital is also “tinged pink” for the start of the fifth stage of the Giro d'Italia which, now in its 107th edition, will take its away on Saturday 4 May in Venaria Reale to end on May 26th. Genoa has been awarded a start that will take the tour from the Ligurian capital to Luccaafter a route of 176 km, but the tour will also have other events in Liguria, with the Acqui Terme-Andora stages (190 km, on 7 May) and the Giro E-bike Savona-Andora.
“Liguria is ready to welcome the Giro d'Italia – underlined the president of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti – and it will certainly be a great celebration not only for all cycling enthusiasts, who will be able to see their champions up close, but also for all the communities that will be crossed by the race. The passage of the Giro d'Italia will also be a precious opportunity for promotion of the Ligurian beauties, an itinerary between the coast and the hinterland that will bring the uniqueness of our territory to the country's screens”.

An event with an economic impact for the estimated attendance of 3 thousand in the city. “The Giro d'Italia returns to Liguria again with three prestigious events – he explains Enzo Grenno, RCS contact person for the Ligurian stages of the Giro – A stage arrival in Andora (Tuesday 7 May), a stage departure from Genoa (Wednesday 8 May), and also there will be the stage of the Giro E-bike Savona – Andora (Tuesday May 7). The stage departure from Genoa, towards Lucca, with a long passage in the Levant of our Regionis a classic, so to speak.”
Furthermore, on the day of the passage of the pink caravan, the plaque dedicated to “Michele Scarponi and Rocco Rinaldi” of the cycle path that runs from Corso Marconi in Genoa to Via Cavallotti will be unveiled.
