Jens Voigt believes Ineos Grenadiers can take control of the Giro d’Italia following Remco Evenepoel’s withdrawal – and thinks the race is “more exciting than ever”. Soudal-Quick Step’s Evenepoel was leading the general classification by 45 seconds after winning the Stage 9 time trial. Ad But he withdrew ahead of the first rest day following a positive Covid-19 test.
Stage 10 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia will see Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) start in the leader's jersey following the shock withdrawal of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step). Evenepoel was 45 seconds ahead of Thomas after winning Stage 9, but just hours after the stage pulled out following a positive Covid-19 test.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) showed weakness in the mountains but he's got a chance to forget all about that on Sunday in his favourite discipline: a pan-flat individual time trial. The Belgian favourite leaked 14 seconds to Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), Geraint Thomas and Tao Geoghegan Hart (both Ineos Grenadiers) on a lively finale to Saturday's Stage 8.
Unless you’re a close friend of Davide Bias (EOLO-Kometa), or the man himself, you’ve probably already forgotten about the snoozefest on Stage 7 at the Giro d’Italia. The GC big-hitters rode to the first summit finish together as strong headwinds discouraged attacks, although Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) dropped a last-gasp dig to suggest he is unhurt from his double crash on Stage 5. Ad Will Stage 8 be more exciting? With a 30.7km individual time trial to come on Sunday, the likes of Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) are likely to keep their powder dry, but we should get plenty of action from the stage hunters in the finale.
Alberto Contador has backed Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) to push for a podium at the Giro d’Italia – but fellow Eurosport expert Jens Voigt is not so sure. With six stages ticked off, the Portuguese is 1’00” adrift of maglia rosa incumbent Andreas Leknessund (DSM) and 32” down on pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep). Ad Evenepoel is expected to come under pressure on Friday's Stage 7 after his double crash on Wednesday, including a run-in with a stray dog.
It's a tough day of climbing as the Giro d’Italia Stage 7 on Friday, May 12 sees the riders start in Capua and finish at Gran Sasso. Climbing is back on the agenda with plenty of tough ascents, and the peloton will be taken above 2,000 metres for the first time on the Giro.
It's a Napolitano day at the Giro d’Italia! Stage 6 on Thursday, May 11 sees the riders start and finish in Naples as Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) seeks to bounce back from his double crash on Wednesday. The Belgian favourite appeared to be out of the race after hitting the deck when a dog ran into the peloton, but after spending over a minute on the tarmac he belatedly returned to the saddle. But the drama was not over.
Stage 4 of the 2023 Giro d'Italia will take riders from Veneso to Lago Laceno, with Remco Evenepoel once again in the leader's jersey for a medium mountain stage. Evenepoel, Primoz Roglic and Geraint Thomas are among the big names that will be covering the hilly 175km stage, which finishes with an ascent from Montella to Lago Laceno. Ad There are 3.5km of climbs ahead of the peloton, and on the Passo delle Crocelle, it's the first time the race goes above 1,000m altitude in a sign of things to come.
