The 2021 Giro di Sicilia (known as Il Giro di Sicilia EOLO for sponsorship reasons[1]) was the 25th edition of the Giro di Sicilia road cycling stage race and the second edition since its revival in 2019.[2] The race was originally scheduled for April but had been postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, which had also caused the cancellation of the 2020 edition.[1][3]
Five of the 19 UCI WorldTeams, eight UCI ProTeams, and seven UCI Continental teams made up the 20 teams that participated in the race.[1][4] Amore & Vita and Zalf Euromobil Fior, with six riders each, were the only teams to not enter a full squad of seven riders. 133 riders started the race, of which 84 finished.[5][6]

- On stage 2, Maximiliano Richeze, who was third in the points classification, wore the cyclamen jersey, because first-placed Juan Sebastián Molano wore the red-and-yellow jersey as the leader of the general classification and second-placed Vincenzo Albanese wore the white-and-blue jersey as the leader of the young rider classification. On stage 3, Jakub Mareczko wore the cyclamen jersey for the same reason, though with Matteo Moschetti wearing the white-and-blue jersey.
