2023 Giro d’Italia seems tailor made and tempting for Remco Evenepoel

The route of the 2023 Giro d’Italia will be revealed in Milan on Monday, with next year’s Corsa Rosa clearly designed to convince Remco Evenepoel to target the maglia rosa and so delay any Tour de France ambition until 2024.

Race organisers always deny designing their race route for one specific rider but the Giro d’Italia has often favoured Vincenzo Nibali over the last decade, while the Tour de France has reduced the amount of time trials and removed a team time trial to give the French riders a chance of competing for victory.
