:Remco Evenepoel underlined his credentials as a favourite for the Giro d'Italia as he stormed to victory in Saturday's stage one, an individual time trial along the Adriatic coast, to take the leader's maglia rosa jersey.
Primoz Roglic is expecting a «big fight» at the Giro d'Italia and has warned Remco Evenepoel he will «make his life harder» in the battle for the maglia rosa. The upcoming showdown between the 2023 edition's two pre-eminent riders is the talk of most cycling fans, even if some — like former road race world champion Philippe Gilbert — think Ineos Grenadiers' Tao Geoghegan Hart can also challenge for the GC. Ad Roglic has suffered a blow with the withdrawal of his Jumbo Visma domestiques Tobias Foss and Robert Gesink due to Covid-19, but cut a bullish tone in the pre-race press conference — that he appeared in via video link in order to mitigate the risk of any further spread of the illness.
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.
Remco Evenepoel plans to take the fight to Primoz Roglic in the last stage of the Volta a Catalunya after a hard-fought race to Molins de Rei on Saturday. Evenepoel (Soudal–Quick-Step) trails Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) by 10 seconds, and speaking after the day's racing he told Eurosport that the plan for the stage was to attack on the climb 27 kilometres from the finish line. Ad «It was the plan this morning,» Evenepoel said.
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) was crowned the Tirreno-Adriatico 2023 champion after Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sprinted to victory on the final stage on Sunday. The 33-year-old's triumph was always a formality on the final day of racing after he clinched three successive stage victories prior to Stage 7 to fully establish his dominance in the overall standings.
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) sprinted to a third successive victory as he stretched his overall lead at Tirreno-Adriatico 2023 after a Stage 6 triumph in Osimo. The 33-year-old was hugely impressive as he powered to the win in a three-way sprint against Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) and Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) in a thrilling finish to the day's racing.
Wild winds could not prevent Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) from doubling up at Tirreno-Adriatico as the Slovenian grabbed the overall lead with another brilliant win on a shortened Stage 5. Despite organisers reducing the final climb to Sarnano-Sassotetto due to weather concerns, it still packed a punch as Roglic emerged from a squabbling front group to charge home ahead of Giulio Ciccone (Trek–Segafredo) and Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers).
