The Giro d'Italia starts on Friday, with 2017 winner Tom Dumoulin set to clash with Chris Froome, Fabio Aru, Thibaut Pinot and a long list of other contenders for the maglia rosa.
This year's Grand Partenza is in Israel - the first time any Grand Tour has started outside of Europe – with Friday's opening stage a 9.7km individual time trial in Jerusalem.
As part of our ten-day countdown to the Giro d'Italia, we've produced a series of feature stories and interviews that are the perfect way to prepare for the Corsa Rosa.

These include the essential guide to the race, the top-10 contenders, a look at the sprinters and stage hunters on the start list, analysis of the key stages, exclusive interviews with Chris Froome, Fabio Aru, George Bennett, Miguel Angel Lopez and Canada's Michael Woods.
We also looked back at Marco Pantani's victory in 1998 – a turning point in his career and the doping problems in the sport, interviewed legendary Italian bike producer Ernesto Colnago and looked back at the recent history of the Giro d’Italia via a gallery of iconic photographs.
Our final countdown feature will be published on Thursday, just 24 hours before the start of the race.
