After years spent in Alps and Dolomites, it is time to explore parts of Italy, where Giro goes through almost every year and places which are not so popular for cyclists, yet. It is area, where very famous cyclist Marco Pantani, king of the hills, was born, trained and died. It is area around Rimini, Cesenatico and San Marino.
