Stage 1 - May 8: Reggio Calabria - Tropea, 208 km

Starting in Reggio Calabria at the tippy-toe of the Italian boot, the first road stage of the Giro then winds east around the Aspromonte National Park, cuts back west and after an easy climb, there's a tricky, nervous run-in to Tropea on the Gulf of St.Eufemia. The finish may be too nervous for a large sprint, so look out for Liquigas scattista Danilo DiLuca to make his mark.
