Watch every stage of Giro d’Italia 2019 on S4C

17 April 2019

S4C will show live coverage and highlights from each stage of the 2019 Giro d'Italia.

The 102nd edition of the Corsa Rosa gets underway on Saturday 11 May with an individual time trial in Bologna.

The peloton will then take on seven summit finishes along the 3,518.5km route of this year's race, before rolling into Verona for a final stage time trial, where the winner of the pink jersey - the Maglia Rosa - will be crowned on Sunday 2 June.

S4C's Seiclo will have live coverage from each stage of the race as well as highlights each evening, on S4C, S4C Clic, BBC iPlayer and Facebook Live.

The experienced Seiclo commentary team, which consists of Wyn Gruffudd, John Hardy, Rheinallt and Peredur ap Gwynedd, pro cyclist Gruff Lewis and Dewi and Gareth Rhys Owen, will provide analysis and reaction from all 21 stages of the race.

S4C Sports Commissioner Sue Butler said: "It's a pleasure to add another of cycling's Grand Tours, the Giro d'Italia, to our sports portfolio. The Giro is one of the toughest, most spectacular bike races on the calendar, and we look forward to bringing Welsh language coverage of this exciting event to our viewers."
