Rumours has it that the 1st stage will take place around Trieste, close to the Italian/Slovenian border, while the final stage would be set to end in Rome.
Another option is a Grand Départ in Albania, after which the first three stages would also be held in the Balkan country. After crossing the Adriatic Sea by ship, the restart would take place from Abruzzo, possibly Bari or Brindisi.
