    Looks like those adverts for the Israeli tourist board are paying off and the start is going to be in Jerusalem
    The 2018 Giro d'Italia will start with three stages in Israel, including an opening time trial in the Old City of Jerusalem. Two more stages have not been finalised, but Tel Aviv and the south of Israel have been discussed as probable candidates to host stages.

    Unlikely if they adopt a similar stance as the Vuelta this year http://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/vuelta-a-espana/vuelta-espana-replace-podium-girls-elegantly-dressed-men-women-342550

    Step in the right direction if you ask me, and I'm not a particularly PC guy but I have to say if it was me on a podium I'd feel pretty awkward being kissed by two ladies and then you never know if its 2 or 3 kisses :D

    better to have local school kids have the awards and a local official hand them out like at the euros at the weekend.
