Eduardo Chozas: “This Giro will decide on the mountains or on an ambush”

Date:

Former professional cyclist Edward Chozas –Which caused controversy over ten editions of Italy is spinning between 1981 and 1993, with two top ten and three stages of success– examining the keys to 105th edition of ‘Corsa Rosa’ which will begin shooting this Friday at Budapest, Hungary).

“We are faced with a new edition of the Giro, the 105, 3,446 kilometers, and as always, one of the most exciting grand tours. It will be the most exciting of the three because there is no clear dominator in the race. None. they are here primoz roglic not either Tadej Pogacar, that they were runners who could almost certainly reign supreme in the races. And in this Giro we are among the favorites joao almeidaa Pello Bilbao Y Mikel Landa |Own Richard Carapazhas already won a Giro, Romain Bardet, Simon Yate either David of the Crosswhich may also be there on the contrary, incl Miguel Angel Lopez already 3rd, Alexander Valverde, well, at 42 years old and 3rd in Giro. As always, eagerness guaranteed.

There are 45 Italian cyclists, the best represented country, of 11 Spanish, but be careful with Valverde, Bilbao, Landa and de la Cruz I think they at least have the most credit for winning a stage, entering the top 10 and even attempting to attack the pink jersey. Only one Spanish team, Movistar, but he has won a Giro recently with the Carapazwhich is now in Ineosand in 2014 with Nairo Quintana.

On the other hand, for sprinters, it is also a race where some massive volatas can be seen. Their speed Ewan, Cavendish, Démare and young people such as eritrean Girmay. ‘Volatas’ is another of Giro’s strengths. Also noteworthy is the presence of an all-terrain vehicle such as Mathieu Van der Poel which always shows a show, both in the sprint and on a day marked in the races.This in terms of participation.

Then, about the route, we all know that it has very little time trial, it is very difficult. This Giro will decide on the mountains or on an ambush. The second stage is 9 kilometers on budapest and the last in Verona of 17.4 kilometers, they add up to only 26 kilometers. The 4th stage ending at Etna, with a 3,600 meter difference in altitude, needs to be pointed out as major days. The 9th with a stage, the second most difficult stage in the Giro, ending with block house, with a final wall of 10 kilometers at 10%. Watch out for the ninth stage, which is a stage !, and with the mountain gathering last week. From the 15th stage to the 20th there is almost no rest. With high end, in Cogne, with more than 4,000 meters of uneven; sa Apricawith more than 5,000 meters of unevenness, including Mortirolo by the way. Another high mountain day, the 17th, ending on Lavaronenearly 4,000 meters and final at Castelmonteanother ascending end, stage 19. And the twentieth, ending in Marmolada, there hidden between the Dolomites, along the Passo Pordoi, San Pellegrinoending in famous marblein the so -called Fedaia Pass as colophon.

We will see an exciting Giro, as has happened in recent years and to see who the successor Egan Bernal”.
