Giro d'Italia 2015 Full HD 1080p | Full Stage 4 The Giro d'Italia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒiːro diˈtaːlja]; English: Tour of Italy) is an annual stage race bicycle race primarily held in Italy, while also occasionally passing through nearby countries.[1] The race was first organized in 1909 to increase sales of the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport;[1][2] however it is currently run by RCS Sport.[3][4] The race has been held annually since its first edition in 1909, except when it was stopped for the two world wars.[1] As the Giro gained prominence and popularity the race was lengthened, and the peloton expanded from primarily Italian participation to riders from all over the world. The Giro is a UCI World Tour event, which means that the teams that compete in the race are mostly UCI Proteams, with the exception of the teams that the organizers can invite.[5][6] Along with the Tour de France and Vuelta a España, the Giro makes up cycling's prestigious three-week-long Grand Tours.[1][7] The Giro is usually held during late May and early June.[1] While the route changes each year, the format of the race stays the same, with the appearance of at least two time trials, and a passage through the mountains of the Alps,[8] including the Dolomites. Like the other Grand Tours, the modern editions of the Giro d'Italia normally consist of 21 day-long segments (stages) over a 23-day period that includes 2 rest days.[1] All of the stages are timed to the finish. After finishing the riders' times are compounded with their previous stage times. The rider with the lowest aggregate time is the leader of the race and gets to don the coveted pink jersey.[1][9] While the general classification gathers the most attention there are other contests held within the Giro: the points classification for the sprinters,[9] the mountains classification for the climbers,[9] young rider classification for the riders under the age of 25,[9] and the team classification for the competing teams.[9] The 2014 edition of the race was won by Colombian rider Nairo Quintana.
