The Giro Organizer posted this note:
He clearly stated that he doesn’t like to be on everyone’s lips all the time, but Tadej Pogačar is inevitably the beacon around which the entire 107th edition of the Corsa Rosa will revolve. And it could not be otherwise, as the UAE Team Emirates captain has come to Turin with the aura of the invincible phenomenon, and from what we have seen in this 2024, that is indeed the case. With the exception of the Milano-Sanremo, the Slovenian has always won with relative ease, and he certainly has no intention of stopping now, at his first participation in the Giro d’Italia.
Fortunately for the rivals, anything can happen in three weeks, a mechanical failure or a bad day may compromise everything. Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), who has pretty much seen it all in his career, knows this well. At the age of 38, the Welshman is still one of the top riders in the peloton. In this first part of the season, he has not picked up any particular results, but that was also the case last year, when he eventually came within 14" of taking the Maglia Rosa.
Speaking of experience, Romain Bardet (dsm-firmenich PostNL) will join the competition galvanised by his second place at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and with all the right credentials to aim for the final podium, taking back what he missed out on in 2022 due to health problems when he was one step away from conquering it. Ben O’Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) has performed better than ever in this early part of the season and has made no secret of wanting to be on the podium in Rome as well, backed up by a very well-equipped squad, with Aurélien Paret-Peintre as a top domestique.
Great curiosity surrounds riders such as Daniel Martinez (Bora-hansgrohe), who hasn’t raced since Tirreno-Adriatico after a sparkling start to the season in the Algarve, Alexey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan), who has only raced the Giro once but has managed to achieve two top 10 finishes in the Tour de France in his career, and Juanpe Lopez (Lidl-Trek), recent winner of the Tour of the Alps. Same goes for Nairo Quintana (Movistar), who has not raced a Grand Tour in almost two years, and Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost), back to the Giro after five long years.
