The wild cards of the teams that will participate in the 105th edition of the Giro d’Italia – scheduled from 6 to 29 May – have been announced. In addition to the 18 UCI WorldTeams and Alpecin-Fenix (best 2021 UCI ProTeam) – which accepted the invitation as an eligible team – the other three teams invited will be Bardiani CSF Faizanè, Drone Hopper – Androni Giocattoli and Eolo-Kometa Cycling Team.
Team Arkea-Samsic, which had the right to chose whether or not to participate in the Corsa Rosa (second best UCI ProTeam in 2021), declined their invitation, leaving room for a third wild card chosen at the discretion of the organisers.
