Om etappen

Rutt
Rolling stage crossing Balkan valleys. Flat opening on wide roads, becoming more demanding after Sliven with multiple climbs and descents. Approach to Veliko Tarnovo via Lyaskovets, where the demanding Lyaskovets Monastery climb (KOM) comes 11 km from the finish. Descent into Veliko Tarnovo before the final challenging kilometres.
Sista kilometer
Last 3 km mixed. Flat first section, then uphill through Tsarevets with short cobbled (porphyry) sections and steep gradients (up to 9%). Final kilometre mostly flat with a short descent before rising again to the finish. Last 500 m straight on 8 m wide asphalt.

Information om delkonkurrenterna

There are four jerseys in the race: pink, cyclamen, blue and white.

Pink: The maglia rosa – the pink jersey – is the grand prize and the icon of the Giro d’Italia. Along with the elegant Trofeo Senza Fine (trofén utan slut’) det är belöningen för ledaren i den allmänna klassificering, mannen som slutför kursen på den snabbaste kumulativa tiden.

Det motsvarar den gula tröjan vid Tour de France.

Introducerad 1931 och färgad rosa för att La Gazzetta dello Sport – tidningen som skapade loppet – trycks på rosa papper, tröjan beskrivs i Giros Garibaldi vägbok som ”en sida gjord av rosa tyg där cykelns historia har skrivits under de senaste 93 åren.”

Med tanke på att tider för åkare på plattare etapper tas som en av dem i en grupp eller peloton, är det de kuperade och bergsetsapperna, plus tempoetapper, som gör skillnaden i denna tävling. Tidsbonusar erbjuds också, med de tre bästa männen på var och en av de 19 vägetapperna som tar 10, 6 och 4 sekunder. Red Bull is sponsoring sprints på varje vägetapp som erbjuder bonusar på 3, 2 och 1 sekunder.

In the event of a GC dead heat, organisers will decide the standings based on fractions of a second measured in the race’s time trials, or stage placings if a time trial hasn’t taken place yet.

The pink jersey has gone through a number of different sponsors in recent years, and has another new one for 2026, in the form of the Friuli Venezia-Giulia region.

Alfredo Binda, Fausto Coppi, and Eddy Merckx are the maglia rosa record holders, with five race wins each.

In the race, the leading the GC takes priority over the other classifications, so if a rider is leading multiple classifications, the priority order is: pink, cyclamen, blue, white.

Purple: the points competition.

The maglia ciclamino – cyclamen (or just purple) jersey – marks the top points scorer of the Giro d’Italia, more often than not a sprinter. Similar to the Tour de France’s green jersey, it is battled over by the riders who accumulate points at the end of each stage.

Since 2014, the points on offer have been weighted towards the flatter stages, which offer more points than summit finishes, meaning it is broadly a sprinter’s classification. A single intermediate sprint, usually on a flatter section of the route, on each road stage also offers points, so it’s about more than just winning stages.

De 20 vägsträckorna i årets lopp är uppdelade i fem svårighetskategorier med sina egna poängvikter.

A och B kategori (sträckor 1, 3, 4, 6, 12, 15, 18, 21): 50, 35, 25, 18, 14, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 poäng

C kategori (sträckor 2, 5, 8, 11, 13, 17): 25, 18, 12, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 poäng

D och E kategori (sträckor 7, 9, 10, 14, 16, 19, 20): 15, 12, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 poäng

Mellanspurtar: 12, 8, 5, 3, 1 poäng

Mads Pedersen vann poängklassificeringen 2025, även om han inte kommer att tävla 2026, medan Francesco Moser och Giuseppe Saronni håller rekordet med fyra segrar vardera.

Blå: Mountain Classification

The maglia azzurra – blue jersey – is awarded to the top climber of the Giro, or at least the rider who accumulates to most points on the classified hills and mountains along the way.

With dozens classified climbs spread out over the three weeks of the Giro, there are plenty of chances to rack up points, especially for those strong climbers who consistently make the break of the day – only once in the past 20 years has a podium sitter taken home the jersey.

The mountain classification has been run since 1933 but a jersey – the maglia verde (green) – was introduced in 1974. The jersey has been blue since 2012 to match the colours of the competition sponsor, the Milanese bank, Banca Mediolanum.

Climbs are split into five categories, from the Cima Coppi (more on that below) through to categories one to four, based on the difficulty of the ascent. First-category climbs used as summit finishes get 50 points rather than the usual 40.

Cima Coppi (Passo Giau, etapp 19): 50, 30, 20, 14, 10, 6, 4, 2, 1 points

Första kategoriets bergsavslutningar (etapperna 7, 14, 16 och 20): 50, 24, 16, 9, 6, 4, 2, 1 poäng

Första kategorin (9 klättringar): 40, 18, 12, 9, 6, 4, 2, 1 poäng

Andra kategorin (13 klättringar): 18, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 poäng

Tredje kategorin (17 klättringar): 9, 4, 2, 1 poäng

Fjärde kategorin (9 klättringar): 3, 2, 1 poäng

Cima Coppi och därefter första placeringar på första kategoriets klättringar används som tiebreaker för tävlingen.

Vit:

Maglia bianca – vit tröja – är priset för racets bästa unga cyklist. I huvudsak är det samma som den allmänna klassificeringen, bara begränsat till de under 25 år vid början av kalenderåret.

Tröjan återintroducerades till racet 2007 efter 12 års uppehål under vilken tid flera, mer komplicerade, tävlingar tilldelades.

Evgeni Berzin, Nairo Quintana, Tao Geoghegan Hart, and Egan Bernal are the only men to win the pink and white jerseys in the same year, though Isaac del Toro came close in 2025, winning white after narrowly losing pink on stage 20.

Intermediate sprints competition

This is the first of several minor classifications. UCI regulations state that WorldTour races can only have four leaders’ jerseys, so the Giro is limited to pink, cyclamen, blue, and white.

The intermediate sprints also count for the overall points competition, but there’s a seperate competition for points scored only in intermediate sprints.

One intermediate sprint (Traguardo Volante or ’TV’ on the stage profiles) lies along the way on each of the 20 road stages at the Giro d’Italia.

Points are awarded to the first five riders across the line – 12, 8, 5, 3, 1 – with the breakaway of the day usually scooping up most of them. The top five riders with the most points each day also get €500 to €100 on a sliding scale, and at the end of the Giro, the top five are awarded €8,000, €6,000, €4,000, €2,000, and €1,000.

Fuga Pinarello

Known as the Fuga Pinarello prize since 2013 in memory of double Olympic bronze-medal winner Cesare Pinarello (and unrelated to the bike brand), this competition is another that rewards those who venture out into the breakaways numerous times during the Giro’s road stages.

Klassificeringen är baserad helt enkelt på vilka cyklister som spenderar flest kilometer utanför pelotongen i framryckningen. Det finns dock några få hinder – endast framryckningar med färre än 10 cyklister räknas, och rörelsen måste omfatta mer än 5 km av tävlingen.

”Vinnaren” på varje etapp tar hem 200 €, medan cyklisten högst upp på ställningen vid slutet av loppet tar hem 5 000 €.

Unsurprisingly, this award is a happy hunting ground for the wildcard teams.

Fighting Spirit

The final of four competitions which give the breakaways something to fight over on those long, flat days when there’s little hope of holding off the sprinters, the Fighting Spirit prize rewards the most combative rider each day, as voted for by the general public.

In other races, this race is simply known as the combativity prize.

By its nature, a more subjective competition than those based on time, points, and kilometres, the Fighting Spirit prize is voted on by fans each day. A poll with a maximum of four riders will run each day from 7pm to 7am on the Giro d’Italia’s Twitter page.

The winner each day will ride the next stage with a red number on their back in addition to a €1,000 prize. At the end of the race, the winner takes home €5,000. This prize is awarded on the time trial days as well as on the road stages.

Red Bull Kilometre

Similar to the time bonus sprints in the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia will incorporate a ’Red Bull Kilometre’ in 2026, a sprint separate from the points classification that awards both cash and time bonuses at a point designed to liven up the GC battle.

The sprint can be atop a climb, in the valley between two climbs, early in the stage, late in the stage – enough to keep any contenders on their toes, studiously poring over the road book each evening.

Time bonuses at the sprint amount to 6, 4, and 2 seconds for the first three riders across the line. 15, 8, 5, 3, and 1 points are also handed out at each sprint to contribute towards the overall competition.

With Red Bull’s sponsorship, there’s a lot of cash available in these sprints: €2,500 each day for the winner (€1,500 and €1,000 for second and third) plus a final prize of €15,000 for the overall winner.

Super Team

Det här priset är ett fint namn för lagklassificeringen, som – precis som vid andra lopp – räknar upp tiderna för de tre bästa målgångarna från varje lag vid slutet av varje etapp. Lägg ihop tiderna och, ungefär som i den allmänna klassificeringen, vinner det lägsta sammanlagda tiden.

Dagliga priser på €500, €300 och €100 delas ut till de tre bästa lagen, medan de fem bästa vid slutet av loppet tar hem €5 000 ner till €1 000.

Resultatet brukar se till att de bästa GC-lagen kommer ut på topp.

Cima Coppi

Del av loppet sedan 1965 för att hedra femfaldig vinnare och italiensk cykelhjälte Fausto Coppi, som dog fem år tidigare, Cima Coppi är ett pris som delas ut till den första åkaren som passerar den högsta klättringen av Giro d’Italia varje år.

Giants of the Giro such as the Passo Pordoi (the Cima Coppi 14 times), Passo dello Stelvio (11) and the Passo di Giau (seven) have hosted the Cima Coppi more than any other climbs. This year, the Cima Coppi honour goes to the Passo Giau for the eight time, peaking out at 2,230m above sea level.

While the Cima Coppi once saw double mountain classification points awarded for riders across the top, the climb now sees a more modest points scale of 50, 30, 20, 14, 10, 6, 4, 2, and 1. The Cima Coppi is also used as a tiebreaker in the event two or more riders are tied for points at the top of the mountain classification.

Along with the points on offer, winners of the Cima Coppi also receive the Vincenzo Torriani Trophy in honour of the Giro’s legendary long-time director as well as a cash prize.
