The Giro d'Italia 2018: many news
The Corsa Rosa 2018 will open, once again, in the name of female beauty. In fact, this year the godmother of the event is the beautiful one Bar Refaeli. The former flame of the fascinating Leonardo di Caprio opened the hundred-first edition of the Giro d'Italia, and with a slightly struggling Italian expressed all his happiness in participating in this beautiful project. In fact, he stated: "I am happy to be here today as godmother of the cycling Giro d'Italia, which for me too is an infinite love". The Israeli model is also passionate about cycling and is following this anniversary with trepidation, so much so that she took the stage with the trophy Endless. The coveted prize will be awarded to the winner of the general classification, Sunday 27 May, ai Imperial Forums in Rome.
The one who will succeed the very blond Refaeli will be Alice Rachel Arlanch. It must be said that for the pleasure of the spectators, the splendid 22-year-old from thirty will also take on the role of godmother of the tour, after winning the competition Miss Italy in 2017.

The Giro d'Italia and its history: our history
The much desired Giro d'Italia has just begun its journey, which includes many interesting and adrenaline-filled stages. Many Italians are glued to the screen to follow every curve, every expression of our champions, to enjoy breathtaking moments. A question, however, spontaneously arises: how was the Giro d'Italia born? Maybe not everyone knows, but the Giro d'Italia was established in 1909, thanks to the intervention of a journalist from Forlì, Tullo Morgagni. Since then it has always been held annually during the three weeks of May.
There were only two interruptions, which took place in the period of the first and second world wars. Although there are obviously other similar cycling competitions, the Giro d'Italia represents in its peculiarity a tradition fully felt by the Italian people, which every time is committed to following its favorites on two wheels. What can I say, also this year do not stop getting excited thanks to the beloved Giro d'Italia!
