Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) blitzed the field with a dominant display in the opening stage of Giro d’Italia – a 19.6km time trial from Fossacesia Marina to Ortona. The 23-year-old stopped the clock at 21:18 in what Rob Hatch on commentary called a “performance for the ages” that bettered the provisional leader Joao Almeida’s time by 29 seconds – Almeida would eventually finish third.
Lucy Charles-Barclay was unable to cap a memorable winning return to racing as Anne Haug’s red-hot run overhauled her advantage and fired the German veteran to the PTO European Open title in Ibiza. British star Charles-Barclay, 29, was making her hotly-anticipated comeback and led the middle distance 100km contest for significant periods. Ad But she failed to maintain her sizeable lead from the swim and bike stages as Haug, 40, leapfrogged her and Australian Ashleigh Gentle to soar to the summit of the podium.
Team Jumbo Visma and Primoz Roglic will try to «crack Remco Evenepoel mentally» at the Giro d'Italia, believes former world road race champion Philippe Gilbert. The much-anticipated showdown between Roglic and Evenepoel is a clash of the eras, with Roglic — at 33 — the elder statesman compared to the Belgian's 23 years of age. Ad And as well as the individual battle, there is the intriguing aspect of the role the pair's respective teams will play during the Giro.
Eddie Dunbar is in his sixth season as a professional cyclist, and if the Corkman knows one thing about the sport it's that things rarely go according to plan.
Former cyclist Jens Voigt told Eurosport that he believes Mark Cavendish needs two stage wins at the Giro d’Italia to convince his team to give him a spot in their Tour de France squad. The 37-year-old Manxman is one of the greatest sprinters in the history of cycling, and in 2021 equalled the record at the Tour de France for most stages won, bringing his record up to 34.
Jan Tratnik is undergoing tests in hospital after he was involved in a training accident, his Team Jumbo-Visma have announced just one day before the Giro d'Italia starts. The team added no further details to the statement that was released on Twitter.
Alberto Contador thinks it will be clear by the Giro d'Italia's first rest day which of Tao Geoghegan Hart or Geraint Thomas is Ineos Grenadiers' leader in the race. The British outfit have gone into the 2023 edition of the famous race effectively with dual leadership, with further high-quality cards to play in the form of Filippo Ganna and Thymen Arensman too. Ad It's perhaps part of a wider bid to destabilise pre-race favourites Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel during the three-week parcours, which begins on Saturday, May 6 in Fossacesia.
Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) says he is prepared to «bide his time» at the Giro d'Italia during an expected GC battle with Primoz Roglic (Team Jumbo Visma) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick-Step). Briton Geoghegan Hart triumphed at the Giro in 2020 as he picked up his first Grand Tour success. Ad It's been a difficult period since then — chiefly due to a combination of illness and injury — but he won the recent Tour of the Alps to indicate he is one of the riders in contention for the maglia rosa.
