About

In May 2014 the focus of the cycling world will be on Ireland and the Giro d'Italia Big Start with three days of pre-race celebrations in Belfast, followed by spectacular opening stages in Northern Ireland before racing from Armagh to Dublin.

The Giro's choice of an Irish Grande Partenza is historic. The famous landscapes of Ireland, North and South will be on view via the global television broadcast the Giro achieves and the economic benefits that the event will generate will be immediate.

In the months ahead the Big Start 2014 will announce exciting stage details, festivals of "pink and green" and volunteer opportunities.
