"They are all great time trials that should suit me" - Positive feedback from Remco Evenepoel's first recon of Giro d'Italia route

Remco Evenepoel has already announced his intentions to target the Giro d'Italia in 2023. Although it has several reasons, one is definitely the amount of time-trialing kilometers which will favour the Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team rider.

"I'm looking forward to the 3 time trials and the final week. I'm really looking forward to the 3 time trials. Last week I explored the 2nd time trial (stage 9, ed.). They are all great time trials that should suit me," Evenepoel said in an Instagram live.

The Corsa Rosa will start with a time-trial in Ortona, and will feature ITT's on stages 9 and 20, totaling to around 70 kilometers of racing against the clock - significant days, all of them. Evenepoel has recently travelled to Italy to do a recon of several stages in central Italy, including the 9th stage from Savignano sul Rubicone to Cesena which has 33.6 kilometers in distance.

Evenepoel will have a preparation revolving around stage-races ahead of the Giro. He will start his season in Argentina with the Vuelta a San Juan, and is expected to race both the UAE Tour and the Volta a Catalunya in preparation for the Giro.
