How to watch Giro del Veneto live streams in the US
According to the official race website, fans in the U.S. can watch the 2024 Giro del Veneto live on Discovery+ ($4.99/month).
Confusingly, FloBikes announced back in February that it would broadcast the race, but the page now returns a 404 error and there is no sign of it listed in the schedule. There was also talk of Max streaming the Veneto (per Warner Bros. Discovery) but, again, we can't see anything on the schedule and the date appears to be wrong.
Remember: Italian nationals visiting the US can tap into their usual, free Rai Play stream via a VPN. Details above.
Can I watch Giro del Veneto 2024 in the UK and Europe?
The official Giro del Veneto website implies that Discovery Plus will air the 2024 Giro del Veneto in selected countries "abroad". However, it doesn't give any further details and there is no specific mention of the UK. Nor could we find the race in Eurosport's TV listings. So you may be out of luck.
Don't forget, if you're traveling abroad you can watch your usual stream from anywhere with a VPN.
Can I watch a 2024 Giro del Veneto live stream for free?

Most other locations, you're looking at a paid stream at best.

What is the 2024 Giro del Veneto Route?
Starting in fair Verona the 173 kilometre course heads east along the plains to encounter its first real obstacle at the 61 kilometre mark, the Monte del Roccolo. After crossing this modest 4.9 kilometre climb the race arrives in Vicenza to start the five laps of the finishing circuit.
Each lap features two 1 kilometre climbs, the 7.2% average Monte Berico and the shallower 3.9% average Torri de Arcugnano. This duo of ramps will be the springboards for attacks as each lap the pace and fatigue will increase meaning all favourites will have to be close to the front of the race at all times.
