On Saturday, May 11th, the 102nd edition of the Giro d’Italia gets underway as nearly 220 of the sport’s top cyclists will take the starting line in Bologna, Italy, for a three-week long war of attrition. The Giro d’Italia, also known as the Tour of Italy, is the first of professional cycling’s three annual Grand Tours.
The Giro is often said to be the most difficult stage race in all of cycling. This year’s race will certainly put that label to the test. The race will end on June 2nd in Verona, but not before the riders travel over 2,186 miles throughout the beautiful country of Italy.
Currently, Giro d’Italia betting sites have numerous cycling wagers to choose from. This complete Giro d’Italia betting guide will break down the plethora of betting options, identify betting value or any potential longshot opportunities, and pick the winners for each classification and the overall race.

A quick overview of the odds and prop bets available for this Grand Tour. Bet365 offers the following cycling wagers for the Giro d’Italia:
Outright Winner – the winner of the race, also known as the general classification (GC). This wager is also for the rider who finishes with the pink jersey (maglia rosa).
King of the Mountains – the rider who earns the most points climbing the mountains. Points are available on each climb throughout the race. This classification is symbolized by the green jersey during the actual on-course competition.
Points Classification – riders earn points along each stage and for winning stages. The red jersey is the symbol of this competition and it’s typically worn by sprinters.
Young Rider – this is for the best rider age 25 and under. It’s determined by their overall time throughout the race and the leader wears a white jersey just like in the Tour de France.
Team Classification – the team classification is based on how well each team does throughout the race. However, it’s slightly tricky since the Giro has two different team competitions.
Match-Ups – this cycling prop bet pits one cyclist against another. You bet on which rider finishes higher in the classifications or stage.
Top Finishes – cycling betting sites have prop bets on specific riders finishing in the Top 3 or the Top 10 for the Giro.
Stage Wins – This is an Over/Under bet on how many stage wins a specific rider will get. Giro d’Italia Best Young Rider Betting Odds
There are 32 cyclists with betting odds for the best young rider classification. The following riders are odds on favorites to win the classification:
*Miguel Angel Lopez (-250)
*Ivan Ramiro Sosa (+500)
*Sam Oomen (+1100)
*Tao Geoghegan Hart (+1100)
*Ben O’Connor (+1400)
*Pavel Sivakov (+2200)
Miguel Angel Lopez won the white jersey in 2018, and he’s eligible to compete for the jersey again. Lopez will be on one of the best teams in this year’s Giro–Team Astana. He will also be competing for the overall victory. Of the cyclists listed above, only Sam Oomen finished in the Top 5 positions for this jersey in 2018. Oomen finished third, roughly 9’21” behind Lopez.
A newcomer to this competition is Tao Geoghegan Hart. He will be co-leader of Team Sky, now called Team Ineos, after Egan Bernal suffered a broken collar bone and will miss the Giro. His teammate Pavel Sivakov will also be co-leader of the team and is also a threat to win this jersey. But those two aren’t the only Team Ineos riders listed in these odds. Their teammate Ivan Sosa, second in the odds, is also a threat to win the white jersey and the King of the Mountains classification as well. Who Will Win the White Jersey at the Giro?
It’s hard to predict which one of the three Team Ineos riders will sit high in the standings for the young rider competition. All three of them could possibly compete for this jersey. But, with Sivakov and Hart being named the co-leaders, Sosa will have to work for them and that includes in the mountains. So, I see that working against his chances of winning this jersey.
In reality, Lopez is the man to win this competition again. He will compete for the overall win at this year’s Giro, which by default will place him at the front of this jersey competition. I’m picking Lopez to win this jersey. However, I do believe that Pavel Sivakov is worth a flier as he offers the best value at +2200. White Jersey Winner: Miguel Angel Lopez (-250)Best Young Rider Value: Pavel Sivakov (+2200)Young Rider Matchups
Of the young rider matchups to wager on, I believe the easiest one is Miguel Angel Lopez (-700) to defeat Ivan Sosa (+400). Lopez is the leader of his team and will be competing for the outright win. Sosa is the #3 rider on his team and will most likely support his teammates. I like Sosa as a young rider, but Lopez should win the jersey and this matchup easily. Giro d’Italia Points Classification Betting Odds
With over 65 cyclists listed with odds to win this jersey, it’s definitely the hardest one to predict of the classifications. The following riders are odds on favorites to win the points classification:
*Elia Viviani (+225)
*Pascal Ackermann (+350)
*Arnaud Demare (+500)
*Fernando Gaviria (+650)
*Giacomo Nizzolo (+800)
*Sacha Modolo (+1600)
*Thomas De Gendt (+1600)
*Primoz Roglic (+1600)
*Caleb Ewan (+2000)
*Simon Yates (+2500)
Typically, the points classification is won by the best sprinter of the bunch. Last year, Elia Viviani won the red jersey by 59 points over Sam Bennett. This year, Viviani is the odds on favorite to win again. However, he’s going to have some serious competition. Pascal Ackerman (+350)
Ackerman is fourth in the sprinter rankings on the season and second in betting odds to win the red jersey. He’s had a decent spring so far, and numerous stage wins in the smaller stage races like the Criterium du Dauphine. However, this will be his first ever Giro. Arnaud Demare (+500)
Demare is currently ranked 10th among sprinters this year. His best performance in 2019, was sixth in the points classification at Paris – Nice. This will be his third Giro, but he’s never won a stage in this Grand Tour. However, he has won two stages at Tour de France. Demare will have the opportunity to go for the red jersey and the possibility of challenging Viviani for the win. Fernando Gaviria (+650)
For me, Gaviria is the wild card out of the sprinters. Fernando used to be teammates with Elia Viviani, but now he’s going to be competing against him. That’s going to make things really exciting. Gaviria has four stage wins at the Giro and won this classification in 2017. He skipped the Giro last year and won three stages at the Tour of California instead. He also took two stages at Tour de France. I believe Gaviria has the best chance at dethroning Viviani this year. Caleb Ewan (+2000)
This is Ewan’s third Giro race and his fourth overall participation in a Grand Tour. That’s not bad for a 24-year-old looking to compete with the best sprinters in the world. On the season, Ewan is 18th in the sprinter rankings, but he has had some success in 2019 despite his ranking. Ewan won multiple stages in the Tour of Turkey this year and has a stage win at the UAE Tour. Caleb has one stage win at the Giro and that came in 2017. He won that stage by out-sprinting Gaviria, Bennett, and Greipel. I believe Ewan offers the best betting value for this competition. Who Will Win the Points Classification?
Only nine men have ever won the points classification more than once. Viviani is looking to become the 10th. Giacomo Nizzolo is a former two-time winner who won the competition in 2015 and 2016. Don’t sleep on him to win this once again.
I like Viviani as a cyclist. He has a certain panache about him. However, I believe the competition is going to be too much for Viviani to overcome this year. I really like Fernando Gaviria and his +650 odds. He will lead the UAE Team Emirates squad, which means he will get all of the support and team strategies in order to capture the winnable stages. Caleb Ewan will also have the same honors, which is another reason why I believe he offers the best value. Points Classification Winner: Fernando Gaviria (+650)Best Points Classification Value: Caleb Ewan (+2000)Giro d’Italia King of the Mountains Betting Odds
For this classification, there are nearly 80 riders with betting odds. The following is a list of the favorites with a few potential value bets and realistic longshots.
*Simon Yates (+500)
*Fausto Masnada (+800)
*Thomas De Gendt (+800)
*Mikel Landa (+800)
*Giulio Ciccone (+1000)
*Primoz Roglic (+1200)
*Ivan Ramiro Sosa (+1600)
*Miguel Angel Lopez (+1600)
*Mikel Nieve (+2800)
*Bauke Mollema (+4000)
*Tom Dumoulin (+5000)
Simon Yates is not only an odds on favorite to win the King of the Mountains jersey, but he’s also an overall betting favorite to win the Giro d’Italia. Last year, he finished third overall in the standings for this classification. Yates’ full attention will be on winning the General Classification, which means he won’t concern himself with this jersey. Furthermore, he cracked in the high mountains last year, which leads me to believe he’s not the top climber coming into this year’s competition. King of the Mountains Betting FavoritesFausto Masnada (+800)
this is the second ever Giro for Fausto and he’s riding well in the high elevations this year. He won the mountains classification for the Giro di Sicilia and he finished sixth in the mountains classification at the Tour of the Alps. However, he did win two stages and finished fifth in the GC. Masnada is on a team where he could go for this jersey if the leader isn’t able to keep up with the top GC contenders. He finished fifth in the Young Riders competition last year. Mikel Landa (+800)
Landa is one head of the three-headed monsters that Team Movistar is rolling out for the Giro. With Alejandro Valverde out of this year’s Giro due to a crash, Landa will join Carapaz and Amador as the leaders. Of these three, Landa has actually been on the podium. However, Richard Carapaz shocked the sport with a fourth overall finish last year. Landa won the King of the Mountains jersey in 2017, and I believe he has a good shot this year as well. Giulio Ciccone (+1000)
Giulio finished second last year in this classification and even has one stage win in this tour. This is the only Grand Tour that the Italian participates in and he will be laser-focused on the King of the Mountains jersey once again. However, he might be strapped with the responsibility of helping his leader Bauke Mollema in the higher elevations. The only way I see Ciccone being able to go for this jersey is if Mollema struggles. Primoz Roglic (+1200)
Roglic isn’t only a threat to win the overall race, but he’s also a threat to win this competition as well. This is his second Giro race and he already has one stage win. Last year, Roglic finished fourth at the Tour de France and announced himself to the cycling world. He certainly has the chance to win both this competition and the overall GC. I’ll detail his chances more in the Outright Winner section. Best King of the Mountains Betting ValueIvan Ramiro Sosa (+1600)
As mentioned in the Young Rider section above, Sosa is one of the top riders for Team Ineos, formerly known as Team Sky. He won the mountains competition at the Tour of Colombia earlier this year and even finished second overall in the GC. He’s a strong climber, but might have to expend most of his energy helping his co-leaders. Miguel Angel Lopez (+1600)
Like Yates and Roglic, Lopez is an overall betting favorite to win the Giro. He finished 3rd last year in the standings and won the young rider competition. Lopez has the potential to capture this competition if he falls too far behind in the GC. Mikel Nieve (+2800)
Nieve won this jersey in 2016. He has a good chance to win it this year as well. It all depends on his responsibilities for helping Simon Yates in this race. There’s a chance that Nieve could get free reign to win some key mountain points. Or he could also be strapped to pacing Yates throughout the Giro. That’s why his odds are this high. Giro D’italia Live CoverageTop King of the Mountains Longshot
Tom Dumoulin (+5000) is one of the GC favorites as he won the Giro in 2017. He finished second last year to Froome and then finished second overall in the Tour de France last year to Thomas. This year, there’s no Froome or Thomas in the Giro, so Dumoulin has a shot. With that said, Dumoulin finished seven in this classification last year and eighth in 2017. If he has to go on the attack in the mountains or keep pace with other GC climbers, then Tom could be the longshot pick to win. Who Wins This Year’s King of the Mountains Jersey?
By process of elimination, we can rule out just about all of the riders that will contend for the GC. Then we can also rule the riders that have to support their captains. With that said, we’re looking at a potential showdown between Thomas De Gendt and Fausto Masnada for the win in my opinion. I also wouldn’t count out Sosa. De Gendt has won a Giro stage before and finished third overall in 2012. But there’s something about Fausto Masnada that caught my attention this year. I love watching De Gendt’s solo attacks in the mountains. It’s become an annual enjoyment for me each year at the Grand Tours. However, I’m going with Fausto Masnada to win this competition. King of the Mountains Winner: Fausto Masnada (+800)King of the Mountains Matchups
Of the dozen or so available matchups to bet on, I believe the best one is Valerio Conti (+150) vs Thomas De Gendt (-200). Conti certainly has a shot at winning, but I believe he will most likely finish somewhere in the Top 5 to 7. I think De Gendt will battle it out for the jersey, but fall short in the end. However, for this matchup, I’m taking De Gendt to win.

— Giro d’Italia (@giroditalia) May 2, 2019Giro d’Italia Outright Winner Betting Odds
Most cycling betting sites have odds listed for roughly 40 to 50 riders on winning the overall Giro. The following riders are considered the betting favorites to win the three-week Grand Tour and finish on top of the General Classification:Primoz Roglic (+162)
Roglic is the overall favorite for this race and it’s quite remarkable how fast he’s ascended in the sport. Six years ago, Roglic was a fan watching the Giro. Three years ago, he made his debut and won the time trial. Now, he’s leading Team Jumbo-Visma and in solid form for his 4th overall Grand Tour, according to Cycling News:
“The biggest challenge will be how I can lead the [Jumbo-Visma] guys and what we can do in those few weeks. It’s my fourth Grand Tour, and my second Giro, but it’s my first time as a leader. Cycling isn’t just about what you can do alone, and the biggest challenge is to have a strong team around you when leading that team.”
Already in 2019, Roglic has won the Tour of Romandie, the Tirreno-Adriatico, and the UAE Tour. For the record, those were the only three races that he entered in this year. Now, he will try to win the Giro d’Italia in his second ever appearance. Can the talented Roglic conquer the rest of the favorites?Tom Dumoulin (+250)
Dumoulin is one of the top GC cyclists in the world. Last year, he impressed fans, critics, and peers by finishing second at the Giro and the Tour de France. He’s only two years removed from winning the Giro in 2017 and already has four stage wins in the first Grand Tour of the year. Furthermore, he has nineteen Top 10’s on stages in this race as well.
As the leader of Team Sunweb, Dumoulin hasn’t performed as well this year as he hoped for. Tom hasn’t won any race or stage this year. And, his best overall finish was 4th at the Tirreno-Adriatico, which Roglic won. With that said, he’s keeping a positive mindset heading into the Giro and hoping for a strong performance as one of the pre-race favorites:
“Last year, it didn’t go smoothly at all during the spring. So it’s good that it’s been working out. My results this year have been OK – not the best, but they’ve been good. But even having had a smoother spring than last year, it’s no guarantee that my shape for the Giro is going to be any better. There really is a whole bunch of favorites. I could name five riders that could win it – who def

There are 32 cyclists with betting odds for the best young rider classification. The following riders are odds on favorites to win the classification:
*Miguel Angel Lopez (-250)
*Ivan Ramiro Sosa (+500)
*Sam Oomen (+1100)
*Tao Geoghegan Hart (+1100)
*Ben O’Connor (+1400)
*Pavel Sivakov (+2200)
Miguel Angel Lopez won the white jersey in 2018, and he’s eligible to compete for the jersey again. Lopez will be on one of the best teams in this year’s Giro–Team Astana. He will also be competing for the overall victory. Of the cyclists listed above, only Sam Oomen finished in the Top 5 positions for this jersey in 2018. Oomen finished third, roughly 9’21” behind Lopez.
A newcomer to this competition is Tao Geoghegan Hart. He will be co-leader of Team Sky, now called Team Ineos, after Egan Bernal suffered a broken collar bone and will miss the Giro. His teammate Pavel Sivakov will also be co-leader of the team and is also a threat to win this jersey. But those two aren’t the only Team Ineos riders listed in these odds. Their teammate Ivan Sosa, second in the odds, is also a threat to win the white jersey and the King of the Mountains classification as well. Who Will Win the White Jersey at the Giro?
It’s hard to predict which one of the three Team Ineos riders will sit high in the standings for the young rider competition. All three of them could possibly compete for this jersey. But, with Sivakov and Hart being named the co-leaders, Sosa will have to work for them and that includes in the mountains. So, I see that working against his chances of winning this jersey.
In reality, Lopez is the man to win this competition again. He will compete for the overall win at this year’s Giro, which by default will place him at the front of this jersey competition. I’m picking Lopez to win this jersey. However, I do believe that Pavel Sivakov is worth a flier as he offers the best value at +2200. White Jersey Winner: Miguel Angel Lopez (-250)Best Young Rider Value: Pavel Sivakov (+2200)Young Rider Matchups
Of the young rider matchups to wager on, I believe the easiest one is Miguel Angel Lopez (-700) to defeat Ivan Sosa (+400). Lopez is the leader of his team and will be competing for the outright win. Sosa is the #3 rider on his team and will most likely support his teammates. I like Sosa as a young rider, but Lopez should win the jersey and this matchup easily. Giro d’Italia Points Classification Betting Odds
With over 65 cyclists listed with odds to win this jersey, it’s definitely the hardest one to predict of the classifications. The following riders are odds on favorites to win the points classification:
*Elia Viviani (+225)
*Pascal Ackermann (+350)
*Arnaud Demare (+500)
*Fernando Gaviria (+650)
*Giacomo Nizzolo (+800)
*Sacha Modolo (+1600)
*Thomas De Gendt (+1600)
*Primoz Roglic (+1600)
*Caleb Ewan (+2000)
*Simon Yates (+2500)
Typically, the points classification is won by the best sprinter of the bunch. Last year, Elia Viviani won the red jersey by 59 points over Sam Bennett. This year, Viviani is the odds on favorite to win again. However, he’s going to have some serious competition. Pascal Ackerman (+350)
Ackerman is fourth in the sprinter rankings on the season and second in betting odds to win the red jersey. He’s had a decent spring so far, and numerous stage wins in the smaller stage races like the Criterium du Dauphine. However, this will be his first ever Giro. Arnaud Demare (+500)
Demare is currently ranked 10th among sprinters this year. His best performance in 2019, was sixth in the points classification at Paris – Nice. This will be his third Giro, but he’s never won a stage in this Grand Tour. However, he has won two stages at Tour de France. Demare will have the opportunity to go for the red jersey and the possibility of challenging Viviani for the win. Fernando Gaviria (+650)
For me, Gaviria is the wild card out of the sprinters. Fernando used to be teammates with Elia Viviani, but now he’s going to be competing against him. That’s going to make things really exciting. Gaviria has four stage wins at the Giro and won this classification in 2017. He skipped the Giro last year and won three stages at the Tour of California instead. He also took two stages at Tour de France. I believe Gaviria has the best chance at dethroning Viviani this year. Caleb Ewan (+2000)
This is Ewan’s third Giro race and his fourth overall participation in a Grand Tour. That’s not bad for a 24-year-old looking to compete with the best sprinters in the world. On the season, Ewan is 18th in the sprinter rankings, but he has had some success in 2019 despite his ranking. Ewan won multiple stages in the Tour of Turkey this year and has a stage win at the UAE Tour. Caleb has one stage win at the Giro and that came in 2017.

Points Classification Winner: Fernando Gaviria (+650)Best Points Classification Value: Caleb Ewan (+2000)Giro d’Italia King of the Mountains Betting Odds
For this classification, there are nearly 80 riders with betting odds. The following is a list of the favorites with a few potential value bets and realistic longshots.
*Simon Yates (+500)
*Fausto Masnada (+800)
*Thomas De Gendt (+800)
*Mikel Landa (+800)
*Giulio Ciccone (+1000)
*Primoz Roglic (+1200)
*Ivan Ramiro Sosa (+1600)
*Miguel Angel Lopez (+1600)
*Mikel Nieve (+2800)
*Bauke Mollema (+4000)
*Tom Dumoulin (+5000)
Simon Yates is not only an odds on favorite to win the King of the Mountains jersey, but he’s also an overall betting favorite to win the Giro d’Italia. Last year, he finished third overall in the standings for this classification. Yates’ full attention will be on winning the General Classification, which means he won’t concern himself with this jersey. Furthermore, he cracked in the high mountains last year, which leads me to believe he’s not the top climber coming into this year’s competition. King of the Mountains Betting FavoritesFausto Masnada (+800)
this is the second ever Giro for Fausto and he’s riding well in the high elevations this year. He won the mountains classification for the Giro di Sicilia and he finished sixth in the mountains classification at the Tour of the Alps. However, he did win two stages and finished fifth in the GC. Masnada is on a team where he could go for this jersey if the leader isn’t able to keep up with the top GC contenders. He finished fifth in the Young Riders competition last year. Mikel Landa (+800)
Landa is one head of the three-headed monsters that Team Movistar is rolling out for the Giro. With Alejandro Valverde out of this year’s Giro due to a crash, Landa will join Carapaz and Amador as the leaders. Of these three, Landa has actually been on the podium. However, Richard Carapaz shocked the sport with a fourth overall finish last year. Landa won the King of the Mountains jersey in 2017, and I believe he has a good shot this year as well. Giulio Ciccone (+1000)
Giulio finished second last year in this classification and even has one stage win in this tour. This is the only Grand Tour that the Italian participates in and he will be laser-focused on the King of the Mountains jersey once again. However, he might be strapped with the responsibility of helping his leader Bauke Mollema in the higher elevations. The only way I see Ciccone being able to go for this jersey is if Mollema struggles. Primoz Roglic (+1200)
Roglic isn’t only a threat to win the overall race, but he’s also a threat to win this competition as well. This is his second Giro race and he already has one stage win. Last year, Roglic finished fourth at the Tour de France and announced himself to the cycling world. He certainly has the chance to win both this competition and the overall GC. I’ll detail his chances more in the Outright Winner section. Best King of the Mountains Betting ValueIvan Ramiro Sosa (+1600)
As mentioned in the Young Rider section above, Sosa is one of the top riders for Team Ineos, formerly known as Team Sky. He won the mountains competition at the Tour of Colombia earlier this year and even finished second overall in the GC. He’s a strong climber, but might have to expend most of his energy helping his co-leaders. Miguel Angel Lopez (+1600)
Like Yates and Roglic, Lopez is an overall betting favorite to win the Giro. He finished 3rd last year in the standings and won the young rider competition. Lopez has the potential to capture this competition if he falls too far behind in the GC. Mikel Nieve (+2800)
Nieve won this jersey in 2016. He has a good chance to win it this year as well. It all depends on his responsibilities for helping Simon Yates in this race. There’s a chance that Nieve could get free reign to win some key mountain points. Or he could also be strapped to pacing Yates throughout the Giro. That’s why his odds are this high. Giro D’italia Live CoverageTop King of the Mountains Longshot
Tom Dumoulin (+5000) is one of the GC favorites as he won the Giro in 2017. He finished second last year to Froome and then finished second overall in the Tour de France last year to Thomas. This year, there’s no Froome or Thomas in the Giro, so Dumoulin has a shot. With that said, Dumoulin finished seven in this classification last year and eighth in 2017. If he has to go on the attack in the mountains or keep pace with other GC climbers, then Tom could be the longshot pick to win. Who Wins This Year’s King of the Mountains Jersey?
By process of elimination, we can rule out just about all of the riders that will contend for the GC. Then we can also rule the riders that have to support their captains. With that said, we’re looking at a potential showdown between Thomas De Gendt and Fausto Masnada for the win in my opinion. I also wouldn’t count out Sosa. De Gendt has won a Giro stage before and finished third overall in 2012. But there’s something about Fausto Masnada that caught my attention this year. I love watching De Gendt’s solo attacks in the mountains. It’s become an annual enjoyment for me each year at the Grand Tours. However, I’m going with Fausto Masnada to win this competition. King of the Mountains Winner: Fausto Masnada (+800)King of the Mountains Matchups
Of the dozen or so available matchups to bet on, I believe the best one is Valerio Conti (+150) vs Thomas De Gendt (-200). Conti certainly has a shot at winning, but I believe he will most likely finish somewhere in the Top 5 to 7. I think De Gendt will battle it out for the jersey, but fall short in the end. However, for this matchup, I’m taking De Gendt to win.

— Giro d’Italia (@giroditalia) May 2, 2019Giro d’Italia Outright Winner Betting Odds
Most cycling betting sites have odds listed for roughly 40 to 50 riders on winning the overall Giro. The following riders are considered the betting favorites to win the three-week Grand Tour and finish on top of the General Classification:Primoz Roglic (+162)
Roglic is the overall favorite for this race and it’s quite remarkable how fast he’s ascended in the sport. Six years ago, Roglic was a fan watching the Giro. Three years ago, he made his debut and won the time trial. Now, he’s leading Team Jumbo-Visma and in solid form for his 4th overall Grand Tour, according to Cycling News:
“The biggest challenge will be how I can lead the [Jumbo-Visma] guys and what we can do in those few weeks. It’s my fourth Grand Tour, and my second Giro, but it’s my first time as a leader. Cycling isn’t just about what you can do alone, and the biggest challenge is to have a strong team around you when leading that team.”
Already in 2019, Roglic has won the Tour of Romandie, the Tirreno-Adriatico, and the UAE Tour. For the record, those were the only three races that he entered in this year. Now, he will try to win the Giro d’Italia in his second ever appearance. Can the talented Roglic conquer the rest of the favorites?Tom Dumoulin (+250)
Dumoulin is one of the top GC cyclists in the world. Last year, he impressed fans, critics, and peers by finishing second at the Giro and the Tour de France. He’s only two years removed from winning the Giro in 2017 and already has four stage wins in the first Grand Tour of the year. Furthermore, he has nineteen Top 10’s on stages in this race as well.
As the leader of Team Sunweb, Dumoulin hasn’t performed as well this year as he hoped for. Tom hasn’t won any race or stage this year. And, his best overall finish was 4th at the Tirreno-Adriatico, which Roglic won. With that said, he’s keeping a positive mindset heading into the Giro and hoping for a strong performance as one of the pre-race favorites:
“Last year, it didn’t go smoothly at all during the spring. So it’s good that it’s been working out. My results this year have been OK – not the best, but they’ve been good. But even having had a smoother spring than last year, it’s no guarantee that my shape for the Giro is going to be any better. There really is a whole bunch of favorites. I could name five riders that could win it – who def
