Tour of Italy race director hails four-time Tour de France champion's decision to ride
Chris Froome’s decision to ride the 2018 Giro d’Italia will make the race more competitive and force rival teams to go on the attack early, the race’s organiser has predicted.
Speaking to Cycling Weekly, Mario Vegni, director of the Giro at race organiser RCS, said: “I think having a rider like Froome is going to make the other teams face the race differently; they can’t play the waiting game. I hope that that’s the case and we get a beautiful, competitive race.”
He added: “The others will see he’s there and not wait around to battle, but go on the hunt early on.”Last week, Froome announced he would race the Italian Grand Tour for the first time since 2010 — a decision he only confirmed to Vegni four hours before the race route presentation.
