Elia Viviani will target Milan-San Remo, the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia on the revised calendar of racing scheduled to get underway in August after the coronavirus pandemic forced the interruption of the season.

The three races had featured on the Italian’s original 2020 schedule and he told Il Corriere della Sera that he aims to be competitive in each event despite their new positions on the calendar.
