Ineos Grenadiers are the favourites to continue their Giro d'Italia domination when Richard Carapaz spearheads the British team on the first grand tour of the season, which starts on Friday.
MILAN: Ineos Grenadiers will be looking to make it a hat trick of victories at the Giro d’Italia, with Richard Carapaz the favorite at the Italian grand tour.
Team GB gold medallist and Ineos Grenadiers' rider Tom Pidcock will reject the chance to compete at the Giro d'Italia in favour of a return to mountain bike action at the World Cup events this month. The 22-year-old British rider will compete in two mountain biking events in May, one in Germany and one in the Czech Republic.
Richard Carapaz will lead a strong Ineos Grenadiers team at the 2022 Giro d’Italia. Ineos have won the race for the past two years, and Carapaz will be given the best chance to make it a hat-trick — and his second Giro victory after his success in 2019 in the colours of Movistar. Ad/> While Carapaz will be leading the charge, 2020 victor Tao Geoghegan Hart and 2021 champion Egan Bernal will be absent due to illness and injury respectively.
WHEN IS THE GIRO D’ITALIA 2022? The wait is almost over: the first Grand Tour of 2022 gets under way on Friday 6th May with the first of three stages in Hungary before La Corsa Rosa makes its way to the Italian mainland via a stint on the island of Sicily. The 105th edition culminates with a time trial in Verona on Sunday 29th May.
History repeated itself with another photo finish deciding the Amstel Gold Race on Sunday, but this time Ineos Grenadiers came up trumps with Michal Kwiatkowski awarded the win over Benoit Cosnefroy by a tyre’s width – one year after teammate Tom Pidcock was denied by Wout van Aert by a matter of millimetres. It was Kwiatkowski’s first classics win in over five years and his first success of any kind since that memorable Ineos Grenadiers one-two at La Roche-sur-Foron when the Pole crossed the line arm-in-arm with teammate Richard Carapaz in Stage 18 of the 2020 Tour de France.
“You can’t trump talent with money.” That’s the ominous warning for Ineos Grenadiers from Discovery Cycling expert Bradley Wiggins, who is urging the British outfit to make good on their vow to attack more. Ad/> Ineos’ vice-like grip on cycling’s biggest races has loosened since the emergence of Slovenian double-act Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Primoz Rolgic (Jumbo Visma), with their last yellow jersey at the Tour de France coming in 2019.

Sergio Higuita sealed overall victory in the Tour of Catalonia on Sunday after the seventh and final stage won by Italy's Andrea Bagioli. Higuita controlled the attacks of his rivals over a stage which finished with six climbs up the Olympic hill at Montjuic in Barcelona.
