The future of the Giro d'Italia.

The future of the Giro d'Italia looks good, as the UCI (cycling of the Board), in the Pro Tour, the 20 best teams have to go before it is all Italian teams and a few foreign teams with sponsor interests in Italy, now the race is also free on television, where it remains to be seen only on a private station. The 2005 edition was one of the best years, top teams, top drivers and a tough course brought the race to life, for years, the sight of a procession until the last hour, then the sprinters took over. The climbers had some good hard phases and the team would consider it on the hills or the time trial, and that's it, now its one of the most exciting races of the stage, there are begging to end.
