The Giro d'Italia 2023 has arrived, with the world's finest cyclists gearing up for the first Grand Tour of the year.

Last year saw three maiden victories on the biggest stages as Jai Hindley claimed the Giro, Jonas Vingegaard clinched the Tour de France, and Remco Evenepoel sealed the Vuelta a Espana.

The triumphs broke the increasingly tight grip of Slovenian duo Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic, who had won five of the last seven Grand Tour events prior to 2022.

Richard Carapaz led much of last year's Giro before being pipped to the post by Hindley in the closing stages. He won't feature this year.

British talent is represented by Tao Geoghegan Hart, the only former Giro champion, as well as Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas among others.
