"It’s still, always, the hardest Grand Tour" - Matt White hints Team Jayco AlUla could aim for sprint success at the 2024 Giro d'Italia
Cycling
The profiles and routes of the 2024 Giro d'Italia have been revealed and as fans, riders and team bosses continue to digest what lies ahead, Team Jayco AlUla boss Matt White has hinted his team may favour a sprint-based line up.
“I’ve definitely seen harder last weeks and the thing that stands out for me is the lack of stages over 200km,” the 49-year-old Australian previews in conversation with GCN. “There’s potential for a lot of sprint stages, which is nice if you have sprinter, which we do, but at the end of the day there’s something for everyone."
On the roster for Team Jayco AlUla going into 2024, the likes of Michael Matthews, Dylan Groenewegen and new signing, Caleb Ewan. All three have won stages of Grand Tours in the past but with the likes of Eddie Dunbar and Simon Yates potential winners of the general classification if they were to be picked, White has plenty of options.
"It’s still, always, the hardest Grand Tour," he concludes. "I know we’ve not seen the Tour route but in the Giro you can get summer weather, winter weather, and you can get it all within 24 hours. For me, it’s still physically the hardest Grand Tour.”
