The Giro de Italia

Naia Amondarain, Alice Arzuffi, Sara Fiorin, Cristina Tonetti, Yuliia Biriukova, Tiril Jorgensen and Marjolein van't Geloof are the seven runners representing the Basque team.

Some of the links between cyclists and amateurs are considered the drums they use in racing, but how many do a World Tour team use for racing?

The Frenchman Paul Magnier (Soudal Quick-Step) won the eighteenth stage of the Giro de Italia with a dangerous sprint with several curves and wet ground on the left and right. Edoardo Zambanini (Bahrain-Victorious) entered second and Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) third, both Italians.

The main group has left no room for escape, and after beating the last port of the day, the Muro di Ca'del Poggio, the fastest men in the platoon have had one last chance ahead of Rome.

Xabier Usabiaga has analysed the evolution of young cyclists in the Ez da Giro. In recent years the trend has changed: as they grow older, they fall in achievements, as has happened to Juan Ayuso, Joshua Tarling and many others.

The UAE Navarro cyclist has hit the leading runners of the race, Valgren and Einer Rubio, then the men who followed him have joined the previous three, and finally Valgren has won a great victory.

UAE taldeko txirrindulari ekuadortarrak Movistarreko mallorcarra menderatu du. Biak ala biak eguneko ihesaldian izan dira, eta, azkenean, garaipena jokatu dute, Chiavarin; Narvaez nagusitasunez gailendu da, eta hiru etapa garaipen daramatza Giro honetan.

The Ecuadorian Jonathan Narvaez (UAE) has crossed the finish line alone in the 8th stage of the Giro de Italia.

The Ecuadorian Jonathan Narvaez has crossed the finish line alone, Fermon, at a stage that has ended uphill. Next to him, the novice Andreas Leknessund has been second in half a minute.

Taking into account the race days that cyclists have on them at the start of the atmosphere, the difference from the previous cyclists is very remarkable. They train a lot, but the race days are much less.

Should a number of minority days be maintained?

In the 2026 Giro de Italia, cyclists have had to climb the first great port of the 109th edition of the race. Jonas Vingegaard has won the victory ahead of Felix Gallen and Afonso Eulalio remains the leader. 

Italian cycling is not going through its sweetest moments. To show this decline, Xabier Usabiaga has compared data from the last few years in "Ez da Giro."

On the sixth day of the Giro, when the cyclists were at a roundabout, a spectator watching the race entered the road, touched some cyclists and also made gestures that could force a fall. 

The decisive sprint in Thursday's stage has been conditioned by a fall in the last mile, after which Davide Ballerini has triumphed brilliantly. 

The Italian from the Astana team has surpassed the Belgian Jasper Stuyven in the last few metres, having emerged unharmed from a fall in the last mile that has completely conditioned the sprint.

The stage will end in a first-class port, the Corno alle Scale, which is a 10.8 km climb with an average slope of 6.1% and a 15% slope. The next day, cyclists have rest, for the second time in the 109 Giro, which also allows men competing in the general to fight.

Xabier Usabiaga has explained in today's "It's Not Giro" program what endofribosis is, a rare disease that more and more cyclists suffer from.

The Navarro cyclist of the UAE team has won the fifth stage of the 2026 Giro de Italia, in Potenza. In the last kilometers of the day, there has been a lot of excitement: falls, a mixture of Arrieta and to finish the sprint.
