After three punishing weeks, just one jaunt around the streets of Rome stands between our brave peloton and a well-earned rest.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) will pull on the leader’s pink jersey one final time on Sunday in the knowledge that he will win the 2024 Giro d’Italia, barring an unprecedented crash on the final day.
It’s very much a day for the sprinters with home favourite Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) and Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) set for one last duel. Milan has three wins to Merlier’s two, with no other sprinter left in the field boasting a stage victory.
How can I watch Stage 21 of the Giro d’Italia?
The UK coverage will be bookended by The Breakaway, presented by Orla Chennaoui, who has a string of esteemed guests joining her across the three weeks.
Usual suspects Dan Lloyd, Adam Blythe and 12-time Giro stage winner Robbie McEwen will return, with former Jumbo-Visma star Nathan van Hooydonck swooping in for the final week as Blythe resumes his duties on the motorbike in Italy, bringing fans closer to the action.
