What's Cool In Road Cycling

GIRO’18 Stage 4: The Sights Of Sicily Photo Gallery!

By Alastair Hamilton

PeloPics: The 2020 Giro d’Italia should have been starting its second week today after three hard days in Sicilia. Mount Etna would have been the jewel in the crown of the visit to Sicilia on Stage 6, we look back at stage 4 of the 2018 Giro d’Italia from Catania to Caltagirone taking the volcanic climb.

Sicilia may have had a dodgy history being ruled by just about every other Mediterranean country and then the mafia years, but the countryside has always been stunning. Here is our collection from the lens of the Cor Vos team.
