Giro 2026 Route stage 10: Viareggio - Massa

Giro d'Italia 2026Tuesday, 19 May – The day after the second rest day features a 40.2-kilometre individual time trial. The flat course runs along the Tyrrhenian coast from Viareggio to Massa.

For: pure time trialists
Key points: fast and flat course

The Giro time trial looks almost identical to the TTs we know from the Tirreno–Adriatico. The route runs directly along the Tyrrhenian Sea and is as flat as can be, while bike-handling skills are hardly a priority. The only differences are the start and finish locations, and this route is considerably longer.

Last year, the Giro visited the start town of Viareggio. The riders headed to Castelnovo ne’ Monti, where Richard Carapaz took the spoils with a late attack.

The total number of time-trial kilometres in last year’s Giro was roughly the same as this time, though they were split across two stages. Primoz Roglic won the first, while Daan Hoole took the second.

So what do we get this time? The course is perfect for racing at breakneck speeds. After the start, the riders loop southwards on a fairly twisty section, before blasting north along a dead-straight coastal road, with four ninety-degree corners waiting in the closing kilometres.
