Will Mark Cavendish (Astana-Qazaqstan) chalk up his first win of the 2023 Giro d'Italia on Stage 17? The 38-year-old is riding the Giro for the last time after confirming he will retire at the end of the season. Ad Cavendish came close to victory on Stage 11 when he finished third, but will be looking to go better than that on Stage 17.
Jen Voigt has explained why he thinks Mark Cavendish’s retirement decision makes “perfect sense” – and has shared a story about the sprint great that he will “never forget”. Cavendish, 38, said that he had “lived an absolute dream” as he announced he will be retiring at the end of the 2023 season. Ad The 38-year-old, who is currently competing at the Giro d’Italia with Astana Qazaqstan, is expected to chase a record 35th stage win at the Tour de France this summer.
Calling all GC contenders – your time is now. After a rather drab fight for the maglia rosa at the Giro d'Italia so far, we can belatedly expect the big-hitters to spring into action at the start of the final week with over 5000m of vertical gain awaiting the peloton on Stage 16. Ad The riders have 64km to ease their legs back into proceedings, mostly along the western shore of Lake Garda, before the race heads uphill for the first, and definitely not the last, time.
“It’s going to be like a Classic – but in a Grand Tour!” says Eurosport expert Adam Blythe. A mini Lombardia? An urban mountain stage? Stage 15 at the Giro d’Italia promises to be fun. Geraint Thomas will return to his familiar robes of Ineos Grenadiers on Sunday after deciding to let Bruno Armirail (Groupama–FDJ) take the maglia rosa to give the Welshman an evening off from post-race leadership duties.
Stage 14 of the Giro d’Italia will see the riders begin in Sierre and cross the border into Switzerland, before making their way back towards Italy in a thrilling downhill finish. In contrast to the sharp climbs in Stage 13, there will only be one climb on Saturday in the ascent of Passo del Sempione.
Stage 13 of the Giro d'Italia takes the riders into the mountains, and GC contenders are set to dominate on a summit finish at Crans Montana. With pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel withdrawing after a positive Covid-19 test, Primoz Roglic has assumed favouritism.
After two relatively simple stages – albeit the first in freezing rain – things step up a little on Stage 12 of the Giro d’Italia as we flirt with the mountains again. The profile is not particularly challenging, however, so we can expect plenty of early action as our non-GC stars attempt to get in the day’s breakaway in the knowledge they may not be caught. Ad The main test is the Cat.
Stage 11 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia is the longest stage of this year's race, a 219km route from Camaiore to Tortona. Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) will wear the leader's maglia rosa for a second time following the shock withdrawal of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) after a positive Covid-19 test.
