After a barnstorming ITT that saw Primoz Roglic take pink, the Giro d’Italia concludes on the streets of Rome on Sunday. Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) entered the ITT with an advantage of 26 seconds on Roglic (Jumbo Visma), but the Welshman had no answers to the power of the Slovenian.
Cycling is going to miss Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) when the legendary Manx sprinter finally hangs up his cleats at the end of the season. Cavendish, 38, announced earlier in the Giro d’Italia that he will step away from cycling at the end of the season as he calls time on a historic career.
On a day Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious) won the queen stage in the Dolomites, Primoz Roglic’s last-ditch attack on the iconic climb of Tre Cima di Lavaredo saw him claw back three seconds on race leader Geraint Thomas to set up a thrilling showdown on Saturday. Welsh veteran Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) will enter the decisive 18.6km uphill time trial on the fearsome Monte Lussari with an advantage of 26 seconds on Slovenia’s Roglic (Jumbo Visma) in a winner-takes-all scenario for the climax of the 106th edition of the Giro.
The Giro d’Italia is on a knife-edge heading into Saturday’s decisive individual time trial, with Eurosport expert Jens Voigt claiming Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) could all still win the race.

Primoz Roglic looks the biggest threat to Geraint Thomas’ dream of winning the Giro d’Italia after an improved performance on Stage 18, but The Breakaway team remain unconvinced he can topple the Welshman. Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) extended his lead in the general classification to 29 seconds on Thursday after following the resurgent Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) to the line, with Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) slipping from second to third after losing ground on his two big rivals. Ad The day began with Jens Voigt writing off Roglic’s hopes, suggesting the best he could hope for was third after he failed to stick with Almeida and Thomas on Stage 16.
A doozy in the Dolomites. Roughly 5400m of elevation and three peaks above 2000m promise to sap any remaining strength from our brave bunch.
There may be four stages remaining at the Giro d’Italia, including three big opportunities to gain time, but Jens Voigt has already written off Primoz Roglic’s hopes of winning the race. The Jumbo-Visma star started Thursday’s Stage 18 third in the general classification, 29 seconds behind leader Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers). Ad Roglic was briefly favourite to win a maiden Giro after Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) withdrew due to Covid before Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) crashed out, but he wobbled in the mountains on Stage 16 as Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) and Thomas put time into him.
The general classification battle at the Giro d'Italia is set to hot up on Stage 18, which features five categorised climbs. The stage is the first of three successive climbing days before a flat finale in Rome.
