The iconic Passo dello Stelvio will no longer feature in the 2024 Giro d'Italia route. 

The climb was planned to star in stage 16, marking the race's Cima Coppi – its highest point – but was removed by the organisers mid-race due to the "risk of avalanches".

James Shrubsall

After cutting his teeth on local and national newspapers, James began at Cycling Weekly as a sub-editor in 2000 when the current office was literally all fields.

Eventually becoming chief sub-editor, in 2016 he switched to the job of full-time writer, and covers news, racing and features.

A lifelong cyclist and cycling fan, James's racing days (and most of his fitness) are now behind him. But he still rides regularly, both on the road and on the gravelly stuff.
