Giro d'Italia 2019: live stream how to watch the last few cycling stages from anywhere

Through the Italian countryside and up and down the mountains, the riders are exhaustedly making their way to the final stretches of the 2019 Giro d'Italia. Pitting the top road riders in the world, we're no closer to really knowing who will take home the glory. But at least with our help, you can get a 2019 Giro d'Italia live stream from absolutely anywhere you are.

In its 102nd year, the Giro is still as tough as ever with a mighty 21 stages covering 3,518.5 kilometres in just 23 days of riding. If that doesn't make your knees ache to read, they will at the three time trials, the five high difficulty stages and the mighty summit finishes.

At the time of writing, the advantage is with Ecuadorian cyclist Richard Carapaz of the Movistar Team, as he leads from Slovenian Primoz Roglic and Italy's very own Vincenzo Nibali. As far as surprises go, last year's narrowly defeated Simon Yates is still quite a way off the pace (although making up some time in the last few stages), and Tom Dumoulin has pulled out altogether after he injured his knee in a crash.

Last year saw the UK's Chris Froome win the Giro d'Italia with Dumoulin and Miguel Ángel López not far behind. It was Froome's climbing wins that set him in good stead for the overall victory after summiting both Zoncolan and the Jafferau as winner. The latter was stunning with a 3-minute lead win after an 80km solo lead.

So how can you enjoy all the tarmac-eating action? Read on to find out as we tell you the best options to live stream the Giro d'Italia. And the best bit is it's possible to do so absolutely free from some locations.
