Sicily ... the perfect destination for a cycle tour in spring, well before the summer crowds descend on the Mediterranean.
"This experience of riding on the same course as the pros, and just a few hours ahead of them, is unique in the sporting world. The atmosphere is simply incredible." Keith Tuffley, Founder - Grand Tours Project.
We have designed this tour to allow you to enjoy the best 60-100km of each stage during the first week of the Giro, and at the same time enjoy watching the race itself, from the best possible vantage points. This will include the exciting mountain finishes on Mt Etna in Sicily .
We'll be riding some of the best cycle routes in Italy as the Giro winds its way around the island of Sicily. Imposing volcanic landscapes, dramatic coastal scenes, rolling countrysides and forests, Greco-Roman ruins and UNESCO Heritage Sites everywhere, beautiful hilltop villages with rambling narrow streets, delicious cuisine and sun baked wines. The Sicilians have experienced the hardships of life here and despite adversity remain welcoming and friendly...The perfect backdrop for the 103rd Giro to hold 3 stages!
Each evening, we'll enjoy local cuisine and stay in a lovely hotel - for this tour, the quality of hotels, food and wine are as important as the cycling.
As an "Official Tour Operator", we will have our support vehicle with us the whole distance. Riding on the race course just a few hours before the pros makes this an unforgettable experience.
