Spectators are being encouraged to wear pink (the official colour of the race) on Sunday.

“The effect of road closures on the public who live on the route along with places of worship and businesses will mean that they will have limited access during the times the closures will be enforced, for this reason, we have developed different timings to which zones on the route will be closed and open,” reads a notice on the official Gran Fondo Giro d’Italia website.

A Gran Fondo, which when translated from Italian into English means ‘big ride’, is a long distance bicycle race.
