As the Giro d’Italia reaches Stage 13, much of the pre-race
attention has turned to
Tom Pidcock, widely tipped as the favourite for today’s
uphill finish on Monte Berico. After a turbulent first half of the race,
including a crash that derailed his chances on the gravel stage to Siena, the
Brit is still looking for his first Giro win. But he’s playing down
expectations.
“I wouldn’t say that this finish suits me a hundred
percent,”
Pidcock told Sporza. “It’s a bit too short for me. Bigger
riders with more power suit this climb better. But it’s certainly a chance.”
