28° GiroSardegna

The secret of the success of “GiroSardegna” is quite simple: after the first stage each cyclist knows the number, the name and the face of “his” opponents; from that moment all the others will disappear and for a week each cyclist lives to overcome the one that beat him for a few seconds … while watching his back from the one he left behind a few seconds!

So even those who arrive at the finish line one hour after the winner they will study the rankings everyday!

And then it’s wonderful to go cycling in beautiful areas at that time of the year (Sardinia in late spring is a riot of colors and smells!) living the absolute quality of the selected hotels and the “climate” that we always managed to create between all participants.

Stages starts in convenient times; departures/arrivals are close to the hotel; the roads have a perfect asphalt; nature is a postcard: all these combined elements built an event without equal in the world with a right philosophy and well done organization!

The cycling week is a complete and multiface event:

The “competitive” racetracks

Two are the competitive racetracks everyday but, ATTENTION, the levels of participants are very different, and EVERYONE can join the Giro without fear: there are those who are riding the 40 km hourly average, but also those who go to 30 and those who are struggling to get to 20:

Blue path (made by the registered at MedioGiro) – stages of medium difficulty.

Red path (made by the registered at GranGiro) – longer stages, with some more climbing.

Each day TWO departures and TWO charts that, in sum of times, forms TWO overall rankings (absolute and age categories) in each path:

WARNING: To remain in the overall rankings (absolute and for age category), the cyclist subscribed to GranGiro or MedioGiro must conclude the path each day: if you do NOT reach the finish line in a stage, you leave the charts but in the following days you can be at the starting line anyway, attending only the day charts.

Race departures

In the stages we respect our ancient tradition: two grids including all cyclists (men and women) with TWO departures (at the start will go first the members of the MedioGiro then the members of the GranGiro).

In the time trial races: the start of the individual time trial (2nd stage) are in reverse order to the general classification (the last in the standings start first and at the end the first ones will start); in the team time trial (4th stage) the departures are in order of presentation of the teams.

Types of entries

Cyclists at the time of registration must necessarily choose whether to join:

to one of the competitive routes: MedioGiro or GranGiro: those who register must be in possession of a sports card for cycling races; the card can be Italian or foreigner but must be valid for the year 2024. Those who do not have one, can apply to join our sports group by sending an appropriate medical certificate to girosardegna@gmail.com

to the NOT racing “Tour”: you can join WITHOUT be enrolled in a sports club and simply endorsing the accession implying disclaimer. Tour will also enroll cyclists with an Electric Bike. The registered “Tour” pays a lower level despite having the same rights as agonists (custom number, gadgets, refreshments, draws lots of awards, etc.). In each day you will be free to choose the path that want to (Green, Red and Blue) course without participating in the race rankings. Every day is fixed a starting “group”, but everyone is free to ride when, how and with whom he wants.
