Richard Carapaz, Ecuadorian Olympic road cycling champion, announced that in 2023 he will compete in the Tour de France with his new team, EF Education-Easy.
The Carchense also stressed that he wants to be either in the Giro d’Italia (which he won in 2019) or in the Tour of Spain.
Carapaz, 29, finished this season in the British squad of Ineos Grenadiers, where they could not retain him.
“My calendar for the next season is not yet defined. At the first rally we will discuss the program. We will define all this more precisely during December, ”she said the Carchi locomotive.
“However, we have already been able to discuss the main lines, and the goal is for me to compete in two Grand Tours in 2023. What we have to discuss is to see if I do the Giro/Tour or Tour/Vuelta double,” he added in conversation with Radio Pedal Cycling from Ecuador.
Carapaz, second in the Giro in 2022 and third in the 2021 Tour, will return to the grand loop in 2023 with his new formation. In the Vuelta a España he achieved three stage wins.
In his new team, the Ecuadorian will not have the opposition for the leadership that he had in the Ineos Grenadiers, and he will also have level runners in his support, such as the Colombians Rigoberto Uran and Esteban Chaves, the Costa Rican Andrey Amador and the British Hugh Carthy . (D)
