Milan, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th Sep, 2018 ) :The 2019 Giro d'Italia will begin with an 8.2km time-trial in Bologna, in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, organisers announced on Monday.
Britain's Chris Froome won the 2018 edition of the race which started in Israel.
The 102nd edition of the race for the pink jersey will start on May 11 and end on June 2, with full details of the world's second biggest stage race, after the Tour de France, to be published in November.
The race gets underway with a tough individual time trial concluding in an uphill finish in Bologna, which last hosted the opening stage 25 years ago.
The second stage heads south from Bologna, with the peloton revisiting the Emilia-Romagna region with starts or finishes in Riccione, Ravenna, Modena and Carpi, organisers RCS said.
