The Slovenian Pogacar debuts in the Giro as the great rival to beat
Euskaraz irakurri: Izen handien missing, Pogacar Slovenian izango da Giroko faborito nagusia
Starting tomorrow in Turinand until May 26 in Romewill be disputed the Giro d’Italia. Taking into account the big names that will be missing from the event, Pogacar will try to aspire to the historic double of Turn and Tour. An achievement that no one has achieved before in this century and which he will opt for if he wins his first victory in the Pink Corsa.
The Slovenian will have a route with the individual time trial taking center stage, and explosive stage finishes. Furthermore, passing through mythical peaks such as Mortirolo and the Stelvio many kilometers from the finish line, they can favor their explosiveness. In total, it will have five high mountain stages, eight medium mountain stages, six flat ones, and two individual time trials.
Major casualties
In the test they will not be Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic (winner last year) or the Belgians Wout van Aert and Remco Evenepoel. Therefore, the list of candidates is reduced to experienced cyclists like the Colombian Nairo Quintanawinner in 2014 and leader of the Movistar Teamor the British cyclist Geraint Thomassecond last year and champion of the Tour de France in 2018.
In the fight for the podium, names like Ben O’Connor, Daniel Felipe MartÃnez, Cian Uijtdebroeks, Romain Bardet, Damiano Caruso, Antonio Tiberi and Juanpe Lopez.
The race can be followed live on ETB1 and eitb.eus.
