"We're not going to the races just to start" - Tudor Pro Cycling ready to challenge the best at Giro d'Italia debut

Big Grand Tour debut awaits Tudor Pro Cycling at this year's Giro d'Italia. But despite being relatively new team in the bunch, the ever ambitious Swiss formation won't be here to 'just have a look around'. No, the sports director Matteo Tosatto makes it clear that Tudor Pro Cycling is ready to make an impact in Italy and chase that victory with all their might.

"I’m always happy going to the Giro but the second, more important question is can you take a good result? We have a young group with two or three riders with a lot of experience and the spirit isn’t going to the races just to start," Tosatto told Cyclingnews.

"The spirit is to take responsibility at the race. That’s our mentality, it's important to work on this mentality for the guys – go into the race for a good result, not just to start and to look at chances in the break. Go into the race to try and win the race, go in there to finish top five. It's a young group, but they are strong."

"For me, Fabian, for everyone, it’s important to give maximum support to the young riders but also to support changing the mentality of the riders – go into the race to win the race," he concludes.
