Pogacar signs up to ride the 2024 Giro d'Italia
Double Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar announced he will race the Giro d'Italia for the first time
25 year-old UAE rider Pogacar will complete his hat-trick of Grand Tours after finishing third at the 2019 Vuelta a Espana.
Pogacar has aready bagged a series of big wins in Italy, Il Lombardia, Strade Bianche and Tirreno-Adriatico stages.
Pogacar's countryman Primoz Roglic won the 2023 edition in the Italian capital Rome.
Primoz Roglic may begin his title defence on May 4 around Turin, and after three stages in the north-western Piedmont region which borders France, the three-week race will descend to Naples before crossing to the Adriatic to head north to the Alps, finishing in Rome on May 26.
The Tour de France starts in Florence a month later with the first of four stages in Italy, before the Olympic Games commence in Paris in July.
Can he win the Tour and Giro in the same season like Marco Pantani did way back in 1998?
