Giro d'Italia strategic restructuring plan

Overview

Luca Guercilena, the new Head of Cycling at RCS Sport, has introduced a strategic vision to revamp the Giro d'Italia. His plan focuses on making the race more international, commercially attractive, and balanced for different rider profiles, including sprinters, climbers, and time trial specialists.

To achieve this, Guercilena intends to increase the prominence of time trials and create more balanced routes. He also expressed interest in moving the race later in the calendar to avoid poor weather and potentially align with La Festa della Repubblica. Rather than actively recruiting star athletes, Guercilena believes the organization should focus on building a high-quality, prestigious event that naturally attracts elite cyclists.
