The first Grand Tour of the season – the 2023 Giro d’Italia – got underway on Saturday, May 6, 2023 and runs until Sunday, May 28, 2023. The 106th edition of the Giro d’Italia will begin with a spectacular 18.4 km time trial on a bike path along the Abruzzo coast and end with a circuit stage in historic Rome, with a total of 70.6 km of time trialling, seven summit finishes, and a tough final week through the Dolomites and Julian Alps.
Jai Hindley (Bora–Hansgrohe) won the 2022 Giro d’Italia and he will not return to Italy to defend his title. Primoz Roglic, Remco Evenepoel, Geraint Thomas, João Almeida, Aleksandr Vlasov and Thibaut Pinot are among the contenders who aim to succeed the Australian. Who will lift the Endless Trophy this year?

Who won Giro d’Italia 2022?
The 2022 Giro d’Italia was won by Jai Hindley of Bora–Hansgrohe, taking his first Grand Tour victory and becoming the first Australian to win the Giro. The Australian entered the Giro’s final weekend just three seconds behind Ecuador’s Richard Carapaz (INEOS Grenadiers) on the race’s General Classification, and pulled on the Maglia Rosa after dropping Carapaz on the Passo Fedaia, the final climb of Saturday’s Stage 20. Hindley ended the day 1:25 ahead of Carapaz on GC, which was more than enough to defend the jersey on Sunday’s final stage, a 17 km individual time trial in Verona.

FAQ for streaming sports
Can I stream sports on my computer?
Can I stream sports on my phone or tablet?
Yes. ExpressVPN has apps for every major mobile device, including iOS and Android.
How can I stream on my TV with a VPN?
In brief there are five different ways to stream sports on your TV with ExpressVPN:
-With the native app for a smart TV, Android TV device, or other streaming device
-By streaming on your computer and connecting to the TV with an HDMI cable
-By mirroring or casting wirelessly to your TV or streaming device from your computer or mobile device
-By connecting to an ExpressVPN-enabled router, which allows for unlimited devices and makes it super simple to connect to different server locations simultaneously
-With MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN’s solution for devices that cannot install a VPN, such as Apple TV or gaming consoles. MediaStreamer only needs to be set up once, although it does not provide the full security benefits of a VPN. (Note that by connecting your Apple TV or gaming console to a router, you can get the best of both worlds!)
For more information on all the ways to get ExpressVPN on your big-screen TV, click below, or just contact a 24/7 Support agent for step-by-step instructions.
I connected to the suggested VPN server location but I can’t log in to the streaming service!
No worries! Server load changes rapidly (especially when lots of people are trying to watch certain events), but that’s exactly why ExpressVPN has high-speed servers all over the world. If you’re trying to access a site in the U.S. or Germany, for instance, try connecting to a different server location in those countries.
If you’re trying to connect to a country with one server location, the first step is to check your location settings. If you’re on a mobile device, disconnect from the VPN, turn off location services, then connect to the VPN again. On both Windows and Mac computers, you can turn off Location Services within the Privacy & Security settings menu.
For more help, you can always talk to a member of our Support Team, available 24/7 by live chat.
I connected to the VPN but my internet speed is slow
If your internet speed is slow or your streaming seems to lag, there are a few possible reasons:
-The distance of your selected VPN server location from your physical location
-Your connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
-Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your ISP
-Slow internet connection speed at your location
-Your device type and processing power
Try each of the following steps to troubleshoot:
-Download the latest version of ExpressVPN
-Connect to a different VPN server location
-Change your VPN protocol
If you try each of the above and are still experiencing issues with your streaming speed, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team 24/7 and someone will be with you in seconds.
What other streaming services can I watch with ExpressVPN?
ExpressVPN works seamlessly with all the most popular streaming apps from around the world. Using a VPN for streaming ensures you watch securely in blazing-fast HD with unlimited bandwidth, free from ISP throttling (which can sometimes slow down speeds). If you want to watch your favorite team from anywhere—even while traveling or on unsecured networks like public Wi-Fi—ExpressVPN is a great way to enhance your sports streaming experience.
