Giro d’Italia route for 2019 is finally revealed and we couldn’t be happier with it. Froome also agrees with us saying that the 102nd route of next season’s Giro is definitely an “explosive” one.

However, this year’s Giro d’Italia champion did not seem fully convinced whether he should become part of the Italian Grand Tour next year.
Te first Briton
Froome became the first rider from Britain to ever win the event in May. He became the first rider in the last 35 years to hold, even though for a very short amount of time, all the three grand tour titles. Froome admitted that he has yet to decide about his next season’s plans.

Froome, who was one of the most important guests at yesterday’s 2019 Giro route official presentation, said that he “still don’t know”. Also, that “it is a decision that we’ll have to take with the team.”
“With a hard start like that it’s going to be very explosive, very interesting,” he added.
