The 2012 season may have only just reached its finale, with Philippe Gilbert crowned world champion on Sunday, but thoughts are already turning to 2013 and the first Grand Tour of the season – the Giro d’Italia.

This trailer from race organisers RCS Sport is sure to whet your appetite, with all the drama we’ve come to expect from the Giro d’Italia.

The 2013 route will be announced on Sunday but we already know the Giro will start in Naples on May 4, and the race will venture into France with a summit finish atop the Col du Galibier.
