On Sunday 15th of May the time trial of the Giro d'Italia starts from Radda in Chianti and ends in the beautiful medieval square of Greve in Chianti.
It’s an unique stage in a gorgeous frame of one of the most beautiful and famous landscape in the world: Chianti.
A must for all cycling lovers for several reasons: the sporting relevance since this stage represents a key hub in terms of ranking; the beauty of the setting as it’s ideal to spend a day outdoors in the countryside around Siena; and finally the dedication to the unforgotten champion Gino Bartali!
