George Bennett to target 2018 Giro d'Italia

George Bennett has outlined three major goals for the 2018 season - the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España and the World Championships. As a result, the New Zealander won't defend his Tour of California title and will skip the Tour de France. The 27-year-old is also opting out of the Commonwealth Games in April due to the flat parcours.
