Giro 2026 Route stage 1: Nesebăr – Burgas

Spectators and riders alike will be treated all day to Black Sea sightseeing. The course loops endlessly along the water, showcasing every local beauty spot in lavish detail.

There isn’t so much as a pinprick of climbing to test the legs, so the Grande Partenza promises to be spectacular and blisteringly fast. The wind, however, may come into play along the coast. Unless it happens to be utterly still, the continual twisting and turning of the route should ensure the riders catch the breeze on their faces now and then. Even a near-certain sprint can be nudged in a particular direction by that.
