Vegni hints at a visit to south Italy for the 2016 Giro d'Italia

Giro d'Italia race director Mauro Vegni was rightly proud of this year's race at the conclusion in Milan on Sunday, hinting the 2016 Giro d'Italia will visit more of the south of the country. The full route will be revealed on October 5 after the end-of-season Il Lombardia Classic but news of the start location is expected in June. Following the success of the Grande Partenza in Northern Ireland and Ireland last year, the 2016 race is likely to start outside of Italy, perhaps in Austria, Berlin or Poland.
