Giro 100 is the first-ever sticker collection produced by Panini for the Giro d'Italia, the famous three-week cycling race that travels across Italy. The collection was released in 2017 to celebrate the 100th edition of the race.
The sticker album contains 392 stickers, including 12 update stickers featuring highlights from the competition. These update stickers were distributed in two special packets together with the newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. In addition to the stickers, there are 22 collectible cards (one included in each packet), numbered C1–C22, showcasing the route and stages of the 2017 Giro. The collection also features 8 extra transparent stickers displaying the Giro’s logos and mascots.
The album begins with seven introductory pages, presenting the roll of honour, statistics, and nine stickers: the Giro d'Italia 100 logo, the four leader jerseys, the race mascot, the winner’s trophy, the Gazzetta dello Sport logo, and the map of the 100th edition's route.
Next, the 22 competing teams are displayed in alphabetical order, each over two pages. For every team, there are 16 stickers: the team photo, the team jersey (as a transparent sticker), and 14 individual rider portraits.
The final part of the album includes three special sections. The first section features the 12 update stickers, highlighting key moments of the race and celebrating the four final jersey winners: Tom Dumoulin (pink jersey), Fernando Gaviria (purple jersey), Bob Jungels (white jersey), Mikel Land (blue jersey).
The second special section is dedicated to the history of the pink jersey, with six stickers commemorating iconic maglia rosa winners between 1937 and 2009. The third and final section covers the history of the Giro d'Italia, illustrated with 13 stickers showing memorable newspaper front pages from 1927 to 2013.
The Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin won the 2017 Giro d'Italia, ahead of Vincenzo Nibali in second place and Nairo Quintana in third. Fernando Gaviria claimed the most stage victories, winning four stages in total.
