Rome, April 29 (LaPresse) – ‘It's the third consecutive time that the Giro ends in Rome, the fourth time in the last seven years. And this year there is something extra, that is, the last stage of the Giro will start from Vatican City. That is an important and special moment, at a time like this with the recent death of Pope Francis, which has touched us all in an incredible way. It will be a stage and an arrival totally dedicated to the Pope, who was a great lover of sport and always promoted it as a moment of inclusion and participation. For us it will be a very emotional moment'. Thus Urbano Cairo, president of Rcs, at the presentation of the Giro d'Italia 2025, which will end in Rome, with the final stage, the 21st, scheduled for Sunday 1 June. This will be the third consecutive time that Rome will host the final stage of the Corsa Rosa. The final stage will be an individual time trial. ‘Passing through the Vatican is a very heartfelt tribute on our part, he was an extraordinary Pontiff. Sport is a moment in life, I remember a great event in 2019 of the Gazzetta dello Sport, ‘The football we love’ and it was beautiful, I played foosball with him. It was a special moment, to have united so many people,’ he added. ‘It will be a very competitive Giro, with some very strong young riders. I think it's a Giro with a route that can give us a lot of emotions that are anything but predictable. It will be a beautiful Giro,’ he concluded.
