The 2015 Giro del Trentino was the 39th edition of the
Giro del Trentino
cycling
stage race . The official name of the race was Giro del Trentino-Melinda, as the former
one-day race
Trofeo Melinda merged with the Giro del Trentino due to financial issues.

Val di Sole and the
Non Valley , on the traditional route of the
Trofeo Melinda .

Riva del Garda and ended on 24 April in
Cles . The race consisted of four stages; as in recent years, the first was a
team time trial from Riva del Garda to
Arco . The race was part of the
2015 UCI Europe Tour , and was
rated as a 2.HC event.

Team Sky 's Australian rider
Richie Porte , who took the leader's jersey after winning the second stage.
