Benvenuti! Welcome to the 2017 Giro d'Italia! It's the 100th running of this great race, and it promises to be a cracker. We start in Sardinia, with the opening day taking us from Alghero to Olbia in the north of the island. I'm Alex Chick - Felix 'Blazin Saddles' Lowe will be taking over tomorrow, let's hope for an eventful opener in the meantime.
