A sporting event organised by RCS Sport lasting three weeks, starting, this year, on 4 May from Venaria Reale in Piedmont and finishing on 26 May in Rome, when the riders will have completed the 21 demanding stages. The Giro d'Italia Women, on the other hand, will be held from 7 to 14 July, in eight stages, starting in Brescia and finishing in Pescara.
This year, GLS will also transform its stand at the Open Village in the starting cities into a real travelling Parcel Shop that will allow the public, staff and partners to quickly and easily make shipments by purchasing them online from the GLS Store portal and dropping the parcel off directly at the GLS stand.
"We are proud to be able to ride alongside the world's best cyclists for all 3,400 km of the Giro d'Italia, which every year showcases the scenic and cultural wonders of our country," comments Elisa Piazzola, Chief Commercial Officer of GLS. "We have confirmed our commitment because we believe that the values of our company go perfectly with those of this beautiful sport, and because the 21 stages will prove to be a wonderful opportunity to meet all those communities where we work every day for the third year.
