The 2020 Giro d'Italia will
start in Budapest on May 9 and end in Milan on May 31, with
three time trials, six flat stages, six of medium difficulty and
five high mountain ones along the way, with a total of seven
uphill finishes, organisers said Thursday.
The Passo dello Stelvio will be next year's Cima Coppi, or
highest point of the race.
For the first time a stage will start inside a military base,
at Rivolto, HQ of the 2nd air force formation.
"Let's hope the final time trial in Milan is decisive," said
Milan Mayor Beppe Sala, commenting on the return of the finish
to the Lombard capital.
Slovakia's three-time world road race champion Peter Sagan
said at the presentation of the Giro d'Italia 2020's course that
he would take part for the first time "unless something happens
to me".
Sagan is also slated to take part in the Tour de France next
year.
