BORA‑Hansgrohe Russian cyclist Alexander Vlasov said he will perform at the Giro d’Italia next season.
Vlasov, in his first season for this team, competed in the Tour de France and finished in the top 5 overall. The decision on Vlasov’s performance at the Giro was announced during the media day at the team’s training camp.
“The Giro will be my main goal for next season and I will try to do everything that depends on me for a good result,” reports the correspondent in Vlasov’s words.
— Why “Giro”, not “Tour”?
– I love Italy, my career abroad started in an Italian club, then I played for a team that was also based in Italy. And this year the course suits me well. Lots of tough climbs. There are a lot of individual races, which is also good for me.
— Remco Evenpool will also go to the Giro. If his tactic is more about staying in control, what about that?
– If there is such a tactic, well, we will try to resist it and try to carry out our tasks.
– Is there a chance to participate in the Tour, Vuelta?
– It will be clear after passing the Giro.
