The Giro del Piemonte, since 2009 known also as Gran Piemonte, is a semi classic European bicycle race held in the Piedmont region, Italy. The race first took place in 1906. From 2005–2019, the race was organised as a 1.HC event on the UCI Europe Tour, but with the restructuring of the UCI divisions in 2020, the race has since been held as a 1.Pro event in the UCI ProSeries.[1] It is usually held a few days before the more important race Giro di Lombardia.
