The Giro dell'Emilia is a late season road bicycle race held annually in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. First run in 1909, the race is considered a classic cycle race, and is traditionally grouped with the Giro del Piemonte and Giro di Lombardia as part of the Italian autumn classics.[1]
The race begins and ends in Bologna, incorporating a tour through the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano National Park. The finale consists of five circuits featuring the ascent to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, with each circuit including the Orfanelle climb, Montalbano climb, and Casaglia descent.[2]
The race held UCI Europe Tour 1.HC classification from 2005 through 2019. In 2020, it was elevated to the UCI ProSeries calendar. Since 2014, there has also been a women's race of the same name.
As one of the oldest cycling classics still running, the race is considered prestigious by riders and media,[3] and often features a strong startlist of riders.[4] Previous champions included legendary riders like Coppi, Bartali, Merckx, Roglič and Pogačar.[5]
