Inspired by the Big Start’s arrival on these shores, Veloviewer blogger Ben Lowe is sharing special Giro posts with our online readers to give a detailed insight into just lies ahead for competitors and enthusiasts keen to tackle the route.

The father-of-two, who has been cycling regularly for over 25 years, said: “These posts are for anyone really – seasoned cyclists that want to look and see what’s there or people that are doing it because they want to get an idea of what they’re getting themselves in for.

“It’s a good way for people that have never been out to the climbs to go out and have a look.”

Founded by Ben two years ago, Veloviewer is currently accessed by around 40,000 cyclists from countries including the UK, Norway, USA and Australia.

He said: “It’s a labour of love. It’s gone from a little play thing to people going on a ride, uploading their Strava data and going straight to my site and using the data there. The main goal is to motivate people to do more.”
