The Slovenian Detour and Route Breakdown

Die Fahrer erwarten insgesamt 3,419 Kilometer und 50,250 Höhenmeter von Trieste nach Rom. According to sport.orf.at, the second leg of the race starts in the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana and leads to the Slovenian coastal city of Koper. The third stage then crosses back onto Italian soil. From there, the route heads down the Adriatic coast before turning north from Naples toward the Alps.

Sportschau.de highlights the return of legendary Alpine climbs. The Passo Gavia—last featured in 2014—and the Passo del Mortirolo return alongside the fearsome Monte Zoncolan, which is slated to host the penultimate battle for the pink jersey on Stage 20. The race concludes with a flat sprint stage in Rome on May 30.

Top Contenders Skip Race for Other Tours

Pogačar has indicated plans to target the Vuelta a España and the Tour de France instead. Sportschau.de adds that defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and young French talent Paul Seixas also appear unlikely to take the start in Italy, leaving Remco Evenepoel as the primary Grand Tour heavyweight currently considering the 2027 Giro.

Meanwhile, regional organizers continue to position their territories for future editions. Sport.orf.at details that Osttirol missed out on a 2027 stage slot, prompting Tourism Association Chairman Franz Theurl to set his sights on 2028. Giro Race Director Matteo Mursia stated in a release from Dolomitensport Osttirol, as cited by sport.orf.at, We really tried everything to integrate East Tyrol. Unfortunately, we did not succeed. Mursia added that the objective is to plan upcoming years with a longer lead time. Osttirol will instead host the final two stages of the Tour of the Alps on April 22 and 23, 2027.
