Giro di Sicilia (English: Tour of Sicily) is a men's multi-stage bicycle race held on Sicily, Italy. The race was first held in 1907 and was won by Carlo Galetti.[2] The race disappeared from the calendar after the 1977 edition won by Giuseppe Saronni, until it was revived by RCS Sports in 2019.[3] The first edition of the revived race was won by American rider Brandon McNulty.[4] It is part of the UCI Europe Tour, classified as a 2.1 event.[5]
The 2024 edition was cancelled as RCS Sport, in collaboration with the Abruzzo Region, will organize the Giro d'Abruzzo instead.[6]
