Chris Froome and Elia Viviani to attend presentation of 2019 Giro d'Italia

Team Sky's Chris Froome and Quick-Step Floors' Elia Viviani will be the special guests at the presentation of the 2019 Giro d'Italia this Wednesday Oct 31st

The winner of the 2018 edition of the race and the best rider at the points classification will be at the presentation of the 102nd Giro d'Italia, that will take place on the 31st of October in Bologna, where the race is set to start.

Less than one week after the presentation of the 2019 Tour de France, the Corsa Rosa takes its turn to present its course. Rumours point at more time trial kilometres that would surely attract the riders that felt disappointed by the lack of kilometres in the discipline at the French Grand Tour.

World Champion Alejandro Valverde has stated that he would choose this race and the Vuelta a España over the Tour de France for the 2019 season, so the Italian fans can expect to see the rainbow jersey going through the course of the Corsa Rosa.

Gran Fondo Guide will be covering the presentation LIVE from Italy at 9:45 PST, 11:45 EST, 15:45 UK, 16:45 CET.
