"I am back as before"- Tao Geoghegan Hart feels in the same shape of his Giro d'Italia victory

Tao Geoghegan Hart, the former 2020 edition winner of Giro d'Italia, managed to win again after this achievement. This time rider of INEOS-Grenadiers, won the 4th stage of Volta a Comunitat Valenciana in an uphill sprint finish.

"We had an open plan today. We wanted to be in the breakaway. That was a great opportunity for Thymen (Arensman, ed.). I think he flew today, because he stayed ahead for a long time. This allowed me to stay calm in the peloton and wait for the final", he revealed the plan for today's stage in the post race interview.
