The 2020 Giro d'Italia was a road cycling stage race that took place between 3 and 25 October, after initially being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was originally to have taken place from 9 to 31 May 2020, as the 103rd edition of the Giro d'Italia, a three-week Grand Tour. The start of the 2020 Giro (known as the Grande Partenza) had been planned to take place in Budapest, Hungary, which would have been the 14th time the Giro has started outside Italy,[2] and the first time a Grand Tour has visited Hungary.[3]
The event was jeopardised by the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy,[4] and in March 2020 it was postponed, as other early season races in Italy had been.[5] When the government of Hungary announced they would not allow the Grande Partenza to take place, RCS Sport decided they would postpone the race to a later to-be-determined date.[6] On 15 April, UCI announced that both Giro and Vuelta would take place in autumn after the 2020 UCI Road World Championships.[7] On 5 May, UCI announced that the Giro would take place between 3 and 25 October, overlapping with the 2020 Vuelta a España .[1]
The race was won by Tao Geoghegan Hart of Great Britain and Ineos Grenadiers, who finished 39 seconds ahead of Australia's Jai Hindley, having taken over leadership of his team after pre-race favourite and teammate Geraint Thomas had crashed out at an early stage. Geoghehan Hart also won the young riders' jersey, and became the first rider in Giro history to win the pink jersey outright on the final stage, having never worn it during the race – he entered the decisive final day time-trial level on time, but second on countback, to Hindley. The mountains jersey as won by Ruben Guerreiro and the sprinters' prize went to Simon Pellaud.[8]

Pre-race favourites
Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), the 2018 Tour de France champion, was considered the pre-race favourite. Simon Yates (Mitchelton–Scott[template problem]) was seen as one of his main challengers after beating Thomas in the lead-up race Tirreno–Adriatico. Steven Kruijswijk (Team Jumbo–Visma), a previous race leader in 2016, was another top contender, as was the only past champion in the field – two-time winner Vincenzo Nibali (Trek–Segafredo[template problem]). Astana[template problem]'s trio of Jakob Fuglsang, Miguel Ángel López and Aleksandr Vlasov were also seen as top contenders. Other riders considered as contenders included Rafał Majka (Bora–Hansgrohe[template problem]) and Wilco Kelderman (Team Sunweb[template problem]). Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Floors[template problem]) was earlier considered a favourite but did not enter the race due to injuries sustained in Il Lombardia.
Riders believed to be the main contenders for victories on the sprint stages were Arnaud Démare (Groupama–FDJ[template problem]), Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates[template problem]), Peter Sagan (Bora–Hansgrohe[template problem]), Elia Viviani (Cofidis[template problem]) and Michael Matthews (Team Sunweb[template problem]).[11][12]
