Snaking its way between the coast of eastern Italy and the mountainous province of L'Aquila, the Giro d'Abruzzo is a four-stage UCI Europe Tour race that incorporates the famous Roccaraso ski resort, but opportunities galore for sprinters too.
Read on to find out how to watch 2025 Giro d'Abruzzo live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE.
The 2025 Giro d'Abruzzo runs from Tuesday, April 15 to Friday, April 18. Full schedule below.
• FREE STREAM — Watch on RAI (ITA)
• U.S. — Watch on Max
• U.K. — Watch on Discovery+ / TNT Sports
• Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN risk-free
The race is 613km long in total, starting and ending relatively gently, either side of a pair of steep legs. Stage 3 on Thursday is the Giro d'Abruzzo's Queen Stage, a 160km ride from San Demetrio ne’ Vestini to Roccaraso's Aremogna plateau.
This is the stage that should break the General Classification contest for the Maglia Verde Azzurra, though if the sprinters stay within touching distance they'll head into Stage 4 with a shot at turning the tables.
George Bennett, who finished third last year, is amongst the favorites, as are David De la Cruz, a top-10 finisher at the recent Tirreno Adriatico, and prospective stars of tomorrow Pablo Torres, Mathys Rondel and Pavel Novak.
You'll find the schedule and route at the bottom of this page. Here's how to watch Giro d'Abruzzo 2025 from anywhere — starting with free streams.

The Giro d'Abruzzo is available to watch for FREE on RAI in Italy.

How to watch a Giro d'Abruzzo live stream from abroad
It's only natural that you'll want to watch your usual home coverage of Giro d'Abruzzo, especially if it's free-to-air. But what if you're not there when the race is on?
Look no further than a VPN (virtual private network). A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere.
They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is NordVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Using a VPN is simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're visiting the U.S. and want to view your usual Italian service, you'd select Italy from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to RAI or another streaming service and watch the action.
