The 2024 Giro d'Italia was the 107th edition of the Giro d'Italia, a three-week Grand Tour cycling stage race. The race started on 4 May in Venaria Reale and finished on 26 May in Rome. There were two individual time trial stages and 4 stages longer than 200 km.[1]

The general classification was won by Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates, by a margin of 9:56 over his closest competitor, Daniel Martínez.

Pogačar's winning margin is the biggest since the 1965 edition and the fourth largest in the post-World War II era.
