Default Giro cycling vacations

Hi,

Gathering advice on Giro d'Italia cycling vacations....

What I am looking for is the travel company that offers Giro vacations that

Emphasize:
Riding...looking for 50-85+ miles riding each day
Riding Giro stages pre-race
Race viewing ... viewing race stages


Not so interested in:
Accomodations
Fine dining

What company is best for this interest profile?

Thanks,

Mike

At all costs avoid Sporting Tours.... they don't pay their guides just give them the free trip... so you get over 50's retirees who dont have any organisational skills or give a shit..... I can recommend former Pro Steve Bauer's tours (http://www.stevebauer.com/) or Australian company Bike Styles Tours who I'm doing the etape through.... (http://www.bikestyletours.com/)

Well, well, well. People want to discuss my favorite hobbies (food, food, food and, ehm, cycling).


Cannot help you on the tour company, though.
