- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles.

As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

The Giro d` Italia is the cooler, tougher brother of the Tour de France. First staged in 1909, & only pausing for two World Wars, its hundredth edition takes place in 2017. Inspired by L` Auto`s enhanced circulation figures after establishing France`s Grand Tour, the Gazzetta dello Sport saw an opportunity to outdo its rival paper, the Corriere della Sera, by organising its own race. From its first years the Giro pushed riders to their limits with brutal climbs, treacherous road conditions, appalling weather & epic distances. Time has changed the Giro to a degree, but it remains as ferociously testing
- & as beloved of cycling`s romantics
- as ever. All the winners are covered: from the first victors Luigi Ganna & Carlo Galetti, to the likes of Alfredo Binda, Costante Girardengo & Gino Bartali, past the legends of Fausto Coppi & Eddy Merckx, on to Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain & Marco Pantani, & then right up to today`s champions Vincenzo Nibali, Nairo Quintana & Alberto Contador. The history of the Giro is the history of cycling`s superstars. The battles for supremacy, the controversies & skulduggery, the fame & the glory, & the iconic stages all feature. In Corsa Rosa, Gallagher skillfully combines history, anecdote & analysis to bring this ultimate test of endurance vividly to life.
