Giro d'Italia 2023 Breakaway Classification | Thomas Champion brings Cofidis sole podium trip with brave race

Breakaways took many wins at this year's Giro d'Italia, but it was the riders who spent the most kilometers out front who stepped on as the main heads of the breakaway classification. Cofidis' Thomas Champion earned an important trip to the podium.

The Frenchman was not the most effective rider in the hunt for stages, but he picked his days correctly and rode 650 kilometers - by the classification's standards - out front. Breakaways on stages 2, 5, 11, 16 and 17 saw him beat Derek Gee and Veljko Stojinic.
