David Harmon will be the man in the commentary box, aided by former pro rider Sean Kelly.
Full details of the key stages of this year's race can be found in the comprehensive Cycling Weekly Giro d'Italia 2008 preview. We've also stuck our neck out and predicted who might win. Watch out for the six British riders taking part in this year's race too, we won't rule out a Brit stage win along the way.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
