Hugh Carthy already kicked off his season at recently finished O Gran Camiño, where he showed good legs with third place in the shortened final stage dominated by Jonas Vingegaard. Yet, the EF Education-EasyPost leader is not bothered by this as he aims to peak his form in May.
"I’ll be doing Catalunya, Alps, and the Giro, it’s a similar program to other years so I’m happy with that," Carthy revealed his plans to Cyclingnews.

"If things go well and I’m strong then it could be a good calendar again. It has been in the past, maybe not so much last year, specially the Giro, but I think there are options for it to be a good year."
"The Giro is the big goal. It’s not so mountainous as other years but it’s always hard. It doesn’t take so much to make differences in the second and third weeks. The course isn’t less hard than normal, there are less mountains, but it’s not less hard," he thinks.
