2013 Giro d’Italia Stage 1
San Felice Circeo * / Napoli

138.5 km

A week ago today the 96th edition of the Giro d’Italia got under way in Napoli. The opening stage was a flat but technical 130 km course that looped around the city. Initially it was going to be a 10 lap race around the streets of Napoli but a late change saw this cancelled. Either way, neither of these courses were ever going to be an option me. For anyone who hasn’t driven around Naples the word insanity doesn’t even come close to describing it. It really wasn’t practical or safe for me to cycle around Napoli, let alone loop around it or ride 10 laps of it. So for my Giro ride grande partenza I needed a different starting point.
