The 2022 Giro d'Italia was the 105th edition of the Giro d'Italia, a three-week Grand Tour cycling stage race. The race started on 6 May in Budapest, Hungary, and finished on 29 May in Verona, Italy. Australia's Jai Hindley won the race despite only taking the lead on the penultimate stage; he won one stage over the course of the race: stage 9 from Isernia to Blockhaus. Hindley is the first Australian to win the Giro d'Italia.

Out of the 176 riders that started the Giro d’italia 149 finished, but the majority got nowhere near the top ten on a single day, let alone the top of the general classification. Obviously, there's more to a Grand Tour than winning, but there have been some squads that have been seemingly anonymous for the past three weeks.

A day on from the final stage of the Gero and the 22 teams that took part will be going through a big debrief: what went right, what went wrong, and where their seasons go from now. 13 teams won stages, but multiple squads went home from Italy empty hand. For some, the race was a bit of a disaster that left them staring down the barrel of relegation from the World Tour. For others, it was a jubilant period, that cemented their position as one of the best teams in the world.
