Tao's fairytale: How Geoghegan Hart and Ineos won Giro

Who is riding?

Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) will start as favourite for the Giro d’Italia with nearly man Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange) back to have another tilt at a title that has so far eluded him.

Remco Evenepoel will celebrate his new five-year deal at Deceuninck–QuickStep by riding for the maglia rosa, although his form is being downplayed by his team. The Belgian insists he is raring to go after fracturing his pelvis at Il Lombardia last August.

Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-hansgrohe) is also amongst the favourites, while Vincenzo Nibali (Trek–Segafredo) is the only defending champion in the field.

And what of defending champion Tao Geohegan Hart? Well, he won’t be in Italy. Ineos have elected to send him to the Tour de France alongside Geraint Thomas and 2019 Giro winner Richard Carapaz.
