route
Originally, Sicily was the starting point for the Giro d'Italia 2021. After the plan to start the Giro d'Italia 2020 in Hungary had to be abandoned as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the start of 2020 was moved to Sicily, Turin was chosen as the start location in 2021. On May 28, 2021, the 19th stage should lead over the Monte Mottarone. Due to the cable car accident there , an alternative route was set.
Sections of the 15th stage are in Slovenia ; Sections of the 20th stage in Switzerland .
The tour ran over 21 stages with approx. 3,411 kilometers and two rest days. It began and ended with a flat individual time trial over a total of 38.4 kilometers. The climbers benefited from around 47,000 vertical meters. The royal stage was the 16th stage with an altitude of around 5,700 meters over the Passo Fedaia , the Passo Pordoi and the Passo di Giau to Cortina d'Ampezzo , which had to be shortened for weather reasons. Mountain arrivals were scheduled for the 14th , 17th , 19th and 20th stage, with the 14th stage ending on the often legendary Monte Zoncolan . A special feature was the 11th stage , which led over 34 kilometers of gravel roads and ended in Montalcino . Six stages were considered sprinter-friendly .
Participating teams and drivers
The 19 UCI WorldTeams were entitled and obliged to start . The Belgian team Alpecin-Fenix qualified as the UCI ProTeam with the highest points in the UCI world rankings 2020 and accepted the invitation.

After Vini Zabù declared his withdrawal after two positive doping tests , Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec received the last wildcard.
In the absence of last year's winner Tao Geoghegan Hart ( Ineos Grenadiers ), the winner of the Vuelta a España 2018 Simon Yates ( Team BikeExchange ) was named as a top favorite. Hart's teammate and winner of the 2019 Tour de France Egan Bernal and the four-time Grand Tour winner Vincenzo Nibali ( Trek-Segafredo ) are less promising . In addition, also last year’s second Jai Hindley ( Team DSM ), last year’s fourth João Almeida and his teammate Remco Evenepoel (both Deceuninck-Quick-Step ), Mikel Landa ( Bahrain Victorious , most recently fourth in the Tour de France 2020 ) and fourth in the Tour de France 2019 Emanuel Buchmann ( Bora-hansgrohe ) as promising for top placements.
