Romain Bardet would "like to ride the Giro"

“I really want to go to the Giro,” said Bardet said to the press, stressing that it’s “50-50” at this moment in time and that a final decision will be taken in December. As one of the best French ridera on a French team with a French sponsor, missing the Tour de France isn’t a viable option for Bardet, at least for now.

The question is which Grand Tour will be chosen to complement it, the Giro or the Vuelta?

The decision will be made in December.
