Second only to the Tour de France in size and prestige, the Tour of Italy is one of the world's biggest annual sporting events and remains one of cycling's all time greatest races. This is the 83rd edition of the race, which started in 1909 to publicise the Italian sport's newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport whom still sponsor the race today. This year's edition covers 3,707km in 22 stages starting on the 13th of May with a Prologue Time Trial in the Italian capital Rome, with the finish line in St Peter's Square in the Vatican to celebrate the Catholic jubilee, and finishes just over 3 weeks later on the 4th of June in Milan. The Linda McCartney Foods Pro Cycling Team have become the first British team in history to start the Giro d'Italia, and the first for 13 years to take on one of the great tours.
