Tobias Foss says it is hard to look past Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) in the battle for the Giro d’Italia pink jersey. Foss was originally due to line up at the Giro in support of his team-mate Roglic, but was ruled out of the grand tour after testing positive for Covid-19.
Eurosport's Alberto Contador believes that it is impossible to discount yet more stage wins for British cycling legend Mark Cavendish at this year’s Grand Tours. The 37-year-old Astana Qazaqstan Team rider is set to take part in the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, with the Vuelta a Espana also a possibility. Ad He has a record-equalling 34 stage victories on the Tour, while his 53 stage wins across the three most prestigious events on the calendar represent one of the best records in the history of cycling.
Geraint Thomas may struggle to keep up with Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel at the upcoming Giro d'Italia, reckons Eurosport's Alberto Contador. Thomas finished third at last year's Tour de France, which was a commendable performance given the superiority of Tadej Pogacar and eventual winner Jonas Vingegaard.
Team Jumbo-Visma’s preparations for the Giro d'Italia have taken a huge hit with Primoz Roglic’s support team affected by a Covid-19 outbreak. Robert Gesink and Tobias Foss both contracted the virus at the Tour de Romandie last week and have now withdrawn from the team’s provisional eight-man line-up. Ad Jos van Emden and Rohan Dennis have been drafted in to replace the duo, with the latter playing a key role in Tao Geoghegan Hart's surprise Giro victory for Ineos Grenadiers in 2020.
Alberto Contador has suggested Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) will have to “make a decision” after this season: give everything to win a Grand Tour or remain a multi-discipline star. Pidcock added Strade Bianche to his impressive palmarès earlier in March after a spectacular solo charge from 50km. He also won Olympic mountain bike gold, the cyclo-cross world title and triumphed on Alpe d’Huez at the Tour de France during an incredible 12-month spell across 2021 and 2022.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) may look “unbeatable”, but Eurosport expert Alberto Contador has warned there are few guarantees when it comes to the Tour de France. Pogacar has started the season in scintillating fashion as he targets revenge at the Tour, having seen Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) end his two-year streak in the yellow jersey. Ad He bludgeoned Vingegaard to comfortably win Paris-Nice earlier in March, while he also boasts wins at Vuelta Andalucia and Jaen Paraiso Interior in 2023.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) has made a “good decision” to ride the Giro d’Italia in 2023 rather than the Tour de France, seven-time Grand Tour champion and Eurosport expert Alberto Contador has claimed. Evenepoel delivered a sensational maiden Grand Tour title at La Vuelta last year, fuelling excitement over a potential showdown with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) this summer. Ad However, he has opted to race for the maglia rosa instead in 2023 and will headline a stacked field alongside Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) in May.
Tadej Pogacar is the favourite to win Milano-San Remo, seven-time Grand Tour winner Alberto Contador has told Eurosport in an exclusive interview. Two-time Tour de France winner Pogacar will lead a strong UAE Team Emirates roster at the 114th running of Milano-San Remo on Saturday.
