Giro Next Gen, also known as Baby Giro, Girobio, Giro d'Italia Giovani Under 23 or Giro Ciclistico d'Italia, is an Italian road bicycle racing amateur stage race created in 1970.

The race is considered to be the most important race on Italy's U23 calendar, the analogue of the Giro d'Italia. The list of winners includes renowned riders like Francesco Moser, Marco Pantani, Gilberto Simoni, Leonardo Piepoli and Danilo Di Luca. [1]

After the 2012 edition, the race was not held for a few years, but it was announced that in 2017 it would return as a U23 race. [2]
