RCS Sport, organisers of the race, have designed a course that offers the peloton two time trials (of 37.2km and 31km), along with a Strade Bianche-style gravel stage 6 and six mountain top finishes.
Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) celebrated as the overall winner of the 2023 Giro d'Italia; however, he is unlikely to defend his victory, instead focusing fully on the Tour de France.
