Aru to ride Giro d'Italia in 2018

Fabio Aru has said that he will target the Giro d'Italia next season and not the Tour de France, as previously suggested by his team. Aru told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport that he would spend the early part of the season at altitude before riding Tirreno-Adriatico and Liège-Bastogne-Liège ahead of the Italian Grand Tour.
