[Tour Le Tour]

Hi Everyone, I realise that the time stages finish depends on TV schedules around the world (and, to a lesser extent, how fast the riders pedal…) but am wondering if anyone has any early info regarding what time Giro 2013 stages will be finishing?

Whooooah, since when? I don’t recall seeing that info anywhere when I signed up. Is it in the site t&cs? Did I miss it? Does this apply to all comments or just the forum? Can I opt out?

They said: “@roadcc time schedules of all the stages will be soon available on our official website http://www.giroditalia.it Stay tuned for updates!”

Marauder’s correct though – stages in Grand Tours are generally calculated so the finish will fall into a particular TV slot, which doesn’t tend to vary much.

So a shorter, flatter stage will start much later than a bumpy, longer stage, with estimated finish coming within a specific slot of half an hour or so.

I might be wrong in saying this but for the 2012 Giro I noticed they normally estimate how long the stage take and start the race accordingly so that it finishes around 4-4:30PM GMT.

Could be different this year tho.
