Giro d'Italia 2025: "Ride Every Kilometre" TOURS

It is the 108th edition of the Giro d’Italia in 2025. The long awaited route will be released on the 13th January 2025 and Grand Tours Project will be ready to do what we do best - offer and provide expert fully supported 'Ride Every Kilometre' tours.

“There is nothing quite like riding on the full route of the Giro d’Italia, with thousands of supporters on the road cheering us on and the peloton only an hour or two behind us.” Keith Tuffley, Founder of Grand Tours Project.

Ride. Every. Kilometre. of each stage in the morning ahead of the professional racers. Yes really. Grand Tours Project has successfully run these tours for several years.

We’re offering the opportunity for fit amateur cyclists to Ride Every Kilometre of one, two or three weeks of the Giro d´Italia, on the same day as the race ahead of the caravan and pros. We’ll be riding through some beautiful and spectacular regions of Italy with a VIP Finish and Podium access along the route. And if this is not enough of a challenge, we offer guests the opportunity to complete the entire Giro d’Italia. If this is for you, contact us for further details. Riding on the race course just a few hours before the pros makes this an unforgettable experience.

Finally, if Ride Every Kilometre sounds too much, then we invite you to consider our Giro d’Italia Experience tours that entail 60 – 110 km of riding each day – our Giro “Experience” – Leisure tours.

If you are interested in the full Ride Every Kilometre 21 Stages contact us here and specify REK 21!

Historically, the third week of the Giro d’Italia takes place in the mountain range across northern Italy. Grand Tours Project are confident that this will be the case in 2025. What we cannot state is where and what passes will be climbed. HOWEVER we can promise that the REK stages will be challenging, dramatic and fulfil the Giro’s claim to be “the toughest race in the world’s most beautiful place.”

This is the toughest week of the Giro d’Italia.

Good experience on big mountain climbs and descents, long distance riding, and back-to-back days on the bike.
Adequate training in advance of the trip … you will be attempting to ride several stages of a pro race – it is achievable when you have trained well.
Time is an important factor on this trip. In order to achieve our goal of riding every kilometre before the pros, we must stick to a strict timetable. This includes starting early in the morning as instructed and adhering to the time allocated for our food breaks during the ride.
If for some reason you are behind the group due to fitness or mechanical reasons, you may be asked to jump into the van to catch up with the rest of the group. Vice versa if you are too fast and ahead of the group … you may need to wait for the group.
The guides will set clear parameters such as road rules, food breaks, and waiting at the top of a pass. His/her instructions must be followed at all times.
The safety of all our team members is our first priority. You are required to ride safely, respect all road rules, and follow the instructions of our guides and of any officials, for your benefit and for the other team members.
