‘Frightening prospect’ - Mathieu van der Poel will move to ‘another level’ after electric Giro d’Italia

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) will be an even more frightening force in cycling after completing his first Grand Tour at the Giro d’Italia, according to The Breakaway gang. The Dutchman lit up the Giro with a string of gutsy – and often wildly ambitious – attacks. Although he won just a single stage, during the Hungarian Grande Partenza, he displayed a fearlessness on all terrain that hinted at his bold future plans.

Forget Ash Barty and Ashes, 'Australian of the year' is Jai Hindley! – McEwen lauds Giro d'Italia champion

Forget Ashleigh Barty and the triumphant cricketers, Robbie McEwen has named Jai Hindley “Australian of the year” after his heroic victory at the Giro d’Italia. Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) became the first Aussie to win the Giro on Sunday, ending the country’s 11-year wait for a Grand Tour winner and banishing memories of his traumatic final day in the 2020 edition. Ad/> He saw Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart wrestle the maglia rosa off his shoulders in the decisive time trial 19 months ago, but there was no repeat in 2022 as he comfortably held off former champion Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) to deliver a maiden Grand Tour win for himself and Bora.

‘I wasn’t going to let that happen again’ - Jai Hindley fuelled by final-day anguish in Giro d’Italia win

Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) admitted he had the anguish of 2020 on his mind before becoming the first Australian to win the Giro d’Italia. The 26-year-old arrived into the final stage in an eerily familiar position, having seized the leader’s maglia rosa on the penultimate stage in the mountains ahead of the decisive time trial – the same scenario that he had experienced 18 months ago. Ad/> That time he had been powerless to stop Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart from stealing it straight off his shoulders, but on this occasion – shielded by a 1:25 buffer over Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) – he proved his close-shave with pink was no fluke.

Jai Hindley became the first Australian winner of the Giro d'Italia on Sunday after safely coming through the final stage, a 17.1-kilometre time trial around Verona, to stay ahead of Ecuadorian challenger Richard Carapaz. A powerful finish to Saturday's final mountainous Giro stage gave Hindley a commanding lead over Carapaz in the general classification, meaning he just had to avoid disaster in Verona to claim his first Grand Tour title, which he did with ease. Hindley had reason to be cautious going into Sunday's finale.
