Results for: Giro d'Italia

Nairo Quintana has confirmed his participation in next month’s Giro d’Italia, marking his first appearance in a Grand Tour since his disqualification from the 2022 Tour de France due to a positive Tramadol test. Despite the controversy surrounding his return to the WorldTour, Quintana remains optimistic, aiming for stage wins rather than a high overall finish. The Colombian will be supported by Movistar teammates Einer Rubio and Fernando Gaviria, as he seeks to overcome a challenging start to the season marked by COVID-19 and a crash.

Tadej Pogačar, fresh off his victory at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, is preparing for his debut at the Giro d’Italia with high hopes of claiming the coveted maglia rosa. The Slovenian phenom believes he has put in the necessary training and reconnaissance to succeed in May’s three-week race. Pogačar’s first Grand Tour outing this season has seen him win seven times, including Strade Bianche and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Despite limited race days, he aims to utilize his experience from past Grand Tours, including his Tour de France victories in 2020 and 2021.
