On Saturday 9 May, the Giro d’Italia begins – organised by RCS Sport / La Gazzetta dello Sport. The provisional entry list has been announced.

Many of the best riders from around the globe will take on “the toughest race in the world's most beautiful place”, and the race will open with the spectacular and "unique" Team Time Trial on the Riviera dei Fiori cycling path, from San Lorenzo a Mare to Sanremo, racing 21 stages before finishing on Sunday 31 May in Milan, during the Expo 2015.

Among them are the Spaniard Alberto Contador, the Australian Richie Porte, the Colombian Rigoberto Urán, the Italian Fabio Aru and the Belgian Jurgen Van den Broeck.

Among stage hunters, finisseurs (a rider who has both the speed and power to attack the peloton in the final kilometre of a stage and stay away on their own) and sprinters there are many top names from the international peloton: the Belgians Tom Boonen (at his first Giro) and Philippe Gilbert; the Australians Simon Gerrans, Michael Matthews (winner in 2014 of Montecassino stage and leader of the Corsa Rosa for six days), Michael Rogers (winner of two stages last year, including the mighty Zoncolan) and Australian national champion Heinrich Haussler; the Spaniards Jon Izagirre, Beñat Intxausti, Juan José Lobato, Mikel Landa and Mikel Nieve; the Colombians Carlos Betancur and Darwin Atapuma; the Czechs Roman Kreuziger and Leopold König; Frenchman Sylvain Chavanel; the Russian national champion Aleksandr Porsev; the Germans André Greipel and Simon Geschke; the Dutchman Maarten Tjallingii; the Slovenians Grega Bolea and Luka Mezgec (winner of last year's sprint for the Trieste stage) and the Italians Domenico Pozzovivo, Giovanni Visconti, Luca Paolini, Diego Ulissi, Fabio Felline, Oscar Gatto, Elia Viviani, Sasha Modolo, Alessandro Petacchi, Giacomo Nizzolo, Matteo Pelucchi and Enrico Battaglin (winner of the Oropa stage in 2014).
 
There will also be four previous winners of Giro d'Italia at the start: Damiano Cunego (2004), Ivan Basso (2006 and 2010), Alberto Contador (2008) and Ryder Hesjedal (2012).
