“Seeing the Giro route, that race should suit me very well” - Thymen Arensman hopes to be in contention at Giro d’Italia once again
CyclingThursday, 07 March 2024 at 07:00
After a horrific crash at last year’s Vuelta a España, in which he lost one of his front teeth, Thymen Arensman has bounced back strongly at the start of this season, finishing fifth overall at the Volta ao Algarve.
Now in his second year with INEOS Grenadiers, Arensman finished sixth overall at the Giro d’Italia in 2023 and is now hoping to be selected for this year’s race to have another go at the general classification alongside Geraint Thomas.
In an interview with In de Leiderstrui, Arensman looked ahead to May, as he stated that “with the legs and the shape I have now and seeing the Giro route, that race should suit me very well, with time trials and a tough third week”.
On his objectives for the Giro d’Italia, Arensman said “doing better than last year's sixth place would be nice, but I still have to be selected first. Only Geraint is certain, so I hope so”.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
