Italian term or phrase: prologo

I know this means "a preliminary event" but was wondering if there's a specific term in sports jargon. Here's the sentence:

Si svolge nella seconda metà di marzo ed è suddivisa in tre giorni di gare: si ha il via col prologo e, successivamente, si tengono le due tappe vere e proprie, nello splendido e selettivo tracciato dei Magredi.

Thanks.
