Inizia la stagione delle grandi corse a tappe! Con il mese di maggio i protagonisti del ciclismo diventano Contador e compagnia. Il Giro d’Italia apre la stagione dei grandi giri: si parte il 9 da San Lorenzo al Mare, si finisce a Milano il 31. In mezzo tante montagne, una lunga crono, volate e tappe per tutti i gusti.
Ma maggio offre anche altro: la Coppa del Mondo femminile in Cina, il nuovo Tour of Yorkshire con Wiggins e il rientro di Kittel, il Giro di California con Sagan e Cavendish, e a fine mese la Parigi Roubaix per under 23. Ecco il calendario completo con tutte le corse:
