GiroSardegna 2020
25 aprile - 1° maggio
The GiroSardegna is the first stage cycling race in Sardinia, suitable for everyone.
It is for everyone, because you can choose whether to sign up for competitive routes or tourist routes.
Whatever your choice, you will cycle through breathtaking landscapes...
This year the GiroSardegna will be in Alghero > Sardinia > Italy > Europe
Hi, I'm Tonino Scarpitti and I've been the organizer of the GiroSardegna for 24 years. Those who know me for many years, some participate in the GiroSardegna since the first edition, knows how much attention and passion I dedicate to organizing the event, and that is why the 2020 edition will be truly special. On the site you will find all the details of the individual stages, of the selected hotels and all the prices. I just have to wish you a good surfing on this site and ... ... see you in Sardinia for the 24th GiroSardegna.
The GiroSardegna did not fix the competition venue in Alghero, for many years now, even if, cyclistically, it is the most complete for an event like ours.
There is plain, climbs of a certain commitment, excellent roads with little traffic but, above all, there are splendid coastal roads (the road to Bosa is of a unique beauty, forty kilometers of up and down without a crossing!) And then … there is Alghero, a “real” city, which has become an important tourist destination thanks to its history, traditions, its beaches and its sea!
In designing the 2020 GiroSardegna I took into account the experiences made in 2019 and therefore, returning to the north of the island, no more car transfers: ALL departures will be close to the hotels!
From the cycling point of view the two races (MedioGiro and GranGiro) are slightly shorter and, on the whole, easier even if the first stage and the last two, although short, are definitely challenging.
From the point of view of hotel accommodation, 2020 will be a reference for the years to come: we have deliberately chosen the BEST HOTELS in Alghero and the surrounding area so that everyone can personalize their stay by choosing between alternatives of various costs.
Furthermore, stimulated by what happened in 2019 in many Italian Granfondi and by the new regulations issued, Alghero 2020 will be the GiroSardegna of the “Security & Safety & More” and therefore:
- race routes in the first and second stage CLOSED TO TRAFFIC
- to reduce risks, we will avoid the stage arrivals preceded by dangerous descents
- we will reinforce the safety by enhancing the presence of personnel at the intersections and we will have a number of motorcycles in the technical escort well above the limits imposed by the law
- and we will increase the number of ambulances following the guarantee we will install an “operations center” which will follow, step by step
- the situation of the race highlighting the presence of assistance cars along the routes
- … we will enhance the presence of the Television with a daily report and a special final of at least 30 minutes (broadcast by satellite!) but it is at I study another engaging initiative that you will soon meet
- … departures, arrivals and more “scenographic” awards with some memorable gems Of course
The event will repeat its now consolidated scheme composed of the two competition routes (GranGiro and MedioGiro), all divided into the following stages:
1st Stage Alghero/Bosa/Alghero
2nd StageIndividual time trial
3rd StagePorto Conte /Stintino/Capo Caccia
4th StageTeam time trial
5th StageAlghero/Ittiri
6th StageAlghero/Villanova Monteleone
And, given the consents we have had over the last few years, we have:
- confirmed the team ranking
- confirmed the two-grid starting lineup (first part the MedioGiro and then the GranGiro part)
- still enhanced quality and quantity of prize draws
They obviously could not miss the beautiful ones non-competitive tour routes: in the vicinity of Alghero there are routes for all tastes, from the sea to the mountains and even in the most inland areas of the island and also for the randonneurs of the “1,000 km of Sardinia“: return to the classic three patents (200, 300 and 400 km) to see the north-west of the island without the stress of ranking.
The “Center” of the cycling week is fixed in the two hotels of Porto Conte but there is also the possibility of offering “something more” by staying in a 5-star city (near which we will make three departures and the final awards of the event).
It will be a GiroSardegna not to be missed for which we are preparing for great!
