Giro d’Italia

The 2027 Giro d’Italia is scheduled for 8–30 May. The organiser has scheduled the route presentation for 3 November 2026, so the 2027 stage towns, climbs and start/finish locations were not yet confirmed when reviewed.

Roubaix, France · UCI lists 2027 location as Vélodrome; city pin approximate

Paris–Roubaix

The UCI 2027 Road calendar lists Paris–Roubaix on 11 April and gives the event location as “Vélodrome.” The organizer’s homepage displays the numeric date 04/11/2027 and still shows the 2026 Compiègne–Roubaix course, so the 2027 start and cobbled-sector sequence remain unconfirmed in the pages reviewed.

11 April 2027 · UCI date; event location listed as Vélodrome; course pending · Pro-race spectator details pending

The UCI calendar separately lists Madrid as the event location, not as a complete course map.

What to verify before booking

Edition status

All five events have published 2027 dates, but route detail and access guidance differ. Use the Tour’s official 2027 route; wait for the Giro presentation on 3 November before choosing stages; use Santiago de Compostela as the Vuelta’s confirmed Grand Départ while treating Madrid as a separate UCI calendar listing, not a full route map; do not infer the Tour of Flanders finish from a prior edition; and do not treat Paris–Roubaix’s 2026 Compiègne route as confirmed for 2027. Check the organiser and host authorities for stage-day closures, spectator controls and transport before booking.

Travel details

Use the organiser’s current access, ticket, transport and accessibility instructions. A recurring host or typical month is not confirmation of next year’s programme or exact site layout.
