Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
The competition was originally supposed to start on May 9, 2020 with an individual time trial in Budapest . Due to the COVID-19 pandemic from the beginning of 2020, the start date of the race in March had been postponed to an unknown time later in the year. The city of Budapest had previously canceled the start in Hungary due to measures to prevent the spread of the pandemic . In mid-April 2020, the Union Cycliste Internationale and the organizers announced that the race would be postponed to October 3rd to 25th. The first three stages were held in Sicily instead of Hungary in accordance with the organizer's rescheduling .
Before the start of the 8th stage , the co-favorite Simon Yates ( Mitchelton-Scott ) had to give up the Giro d'Italia because he had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 after Covid-19 symptoms on the morning of the day . After the end of the 9th stage and on the following first day of rest , two drivers and six supervisors tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Four supervisors belonged to Yates' team Mitchelton-Scott, which was withdrawn from the race according to the rules to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The Jumbo-Visma team took themselves out of the race after team captain Steven Kruijswijk's positive SARS-CoV-2 test . The teams Sunweb (positive: Michael Matthews ), Ag2r La Mondiale and Ineos Grenadiers (one supervisor each) stayed in the race. After it became known before the start of the 12th stage that 17 police officers from the Polizia Stradale had tested positive for Sars-Cov-2, the EF Pro Cycling team requested that the tour be stopped on the second day of rest. The Polizia Stradale announced that it was not a matter of police officers accompanying the tour, but of those who had accompanied the separate E-Giro .
On the second day of rest, an Astana Pro Teams supervisor tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, but not a cyclist.
According to the organizers' plans, the 20th stage should reach Sestriere via French soil and cross the passes Colle dell'Agnello , Col d'Izoard and Col de Montgenèvre . After this was banned by the French authorities during the current tour due to the measures taken to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in France , Sestriere was crossed three times instead.
route
After the start of the time trial in Palermo, there was a mountain arrival on Mount Etna on the third day . After another individual time trial on the 14th stage, the Alpine sections on the 17th, 18th and 20th stages were considered to be decisive for the overall standings, before another individual time trial was due at the end in Milan.
The 19th stage was shortened from 258 to 124.5 kilometers after driver protests.
Attendees
The 19 UCI WorldTeams were entitled and obliged to start . In addition, the organizer invited three Italian UCI ProTeams by means of wild cards with the teams Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec , Bardiani CSF Faizanè and Vini Zabù KTM , after the Total Direct Energy team, qualified due to its world ranking position , had waived its right to start. The teams consist of eight drivers each. Of the 176 who started, 133 reached the finish.
In the absence of last year's winner Richard Carapaz ( Ineos Grenadiers ), his teammate and winner of the Tour de France 2018 Geraint Thomas was named as a favorite. Also among the favorites are last year's second two-time Giro winner ( 2013 and 2016 ) Vincenzo Nibali ( Trek-Segafredo ), last year’s eighth Simon Yates ( Mitchelton-Scott ), who led the Giro d'Italia 2018 for a long time and the Vuelta a España 2018 won, Steven Kruijswijk ( Jumbo-Visma ), who lost the Maglia Rosa in 2016 after a fall and the winner of the Giro di Lombardia 2020 Jakob Fuglsang ( Astana Pro Team ), who is to be supported by last year's seventh Miguel Ángel López .
