Itinerary
Day To Day
The Giro d’Italia takes place across various regions of Italy. The race takes riders across a wide variety of terrain across beautiful regions, allowing spectators to see all that Italy has to offer.
For the 2025 edition we offer stages as an experience only package. Arrive at the meeting point in the morning, experience the stage up close and personal as part of the team, make your own onward travel arrangements from the finish line. We can offer a free shuttle back to the start location.
2025 Giro d’Italia
The route for the 2025 edition starts with 3 stages in Albania. The route then works its way to northern Italy before finishing with the final week being held across the northern regions. This edition includes; 2 time trials, 6 flat stages, 8 ‘hilly’ stages and 5 mountain stages.
This breakdown is quite misleading as there is plenty of climbing across the route and the final week looks especially challenging. Expect a very challenging race with a lot of fireworks.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike ‘in the Heart of the Race’ VIP experiences
Ahead of Race Day we will communicate the day’s itinerary and the start and finish locations.
The day begins with our Team Visma | Lease a Bike host who will meet you to begin your race day experience. You host will be an ex-pro rider who will offer professional insights into the race. The first stop is a visit to the team hotel where one of the team Directors will share the team’s race strategy with you for the day.
After visiting the team hotel, we set off for the start area where you will visit the Team Bus to see how a World Tour Cycling Team prepare for a race day. From there you visit the start village for the team presentations and rider sign on. Now it’s time for the race to get underway.
You will be in an official Team Visma | Lease a Bike vehicle with full race accreditation for access to the race course. The vehicle is equipped with a map of the official race route and live TV coverage. During the day you will stop at multiple points on the roadside and have a chance to hand out bottles to the riders as they come past. During the day we will stop for lunch along with having snacks and drinks available throughout the day.
We aim to arrive at the finish in time to see it live but we can’t guarantee this as it depends on how the race plays out on the day. Once the race and podium ceremonies are over the full race day experience with Team Visma | Lease a Bike draws to a close. Your host will take you to the end point.
