May 4th the 101th edition of the Giro d'Italia set off with 176 contestants. Cyclingstage.com keeps track of all riders that are forced to abandon. The 2018 Giro d'Italia was the 101st edition of the Giro d'Italia, one of cycling's Grand Tour races. The race started in Jerusalem on 4 May, with a 9.7 km (6 mi) individual time trial followed by two additional stages within Israel. After a rest day, there were 18 further stages in Italy before.
GIRO D'ITALIA 2018: GC CONTENDERS
Britain’s CHRIS FROOME is the odds on favourite to win the Giro d'Italia. Anyway, he is still under investigation after he was found to have elevated levels of salbutamol during last year’s win at La Vuelta. While his case is under review by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Froome is allowed to continue riding. If he wins in Italy this year, Froome would become the first rider in history to hold the title in all three grand tours at the same time.TOM DUMOULIN comes here as defending champion. The Dutchman would have probably liked more Time Trials kilometers, but he showed last year he was more than a match for most of them in the mountains. In the last edition he even managed to out-climb the entire field on the Stage 14 summit finish to Oropa. He has been quiet so far this year, completing only 12 race days with no victories to his name (but he was equally quiet last year). With three mountain finishes coming after the final time trial, a spot atop the podium in pink will be hard to secure this year.
With VINCENZO NIBALI focused on the spring classics instead of racing the Giro d’Italia this year, former Vuelta winner
Giro Odds 2018 Football
FABIO ARU is Italy's main hope. He has looked off the pace so far in recent weeks, but could be timing his peak nicely and has five stages to break his legs in before they tackle Mount Etna in Sicily. Aru recently finished sixth at the Tour of the AlpsTHIBAUT PINOT finished 4th in Italy in his first time ever racing the Giro d’Italia. The Frenchman has won the Tour of the Alps earlier this season over a field containing most of the Giro favorites. It was only a five-day stage race but the Groupama-FDJ captain has already shown he's capacle to perform well over three weeks of race.
Mitchelton-Scott duo ESTEBAN CHAVES and SIMON YATES could be other two contenders. Chaves was second at the 2016 Giro (his last appearance), and third at the Vuelta that same year. He secured a mountain-top victory already this year — on the 20km ascent to Lake Mountain at the Jayco Herald Sun Tour. Simon Yates has a seventh-place finish at the Tour de France (2017) and a sixth at the Vuelta (2016) in his palmares. He won an uphill finish at Paris-Nice (on his way to 2nd overall) and lumpy stage of the Volta Catalunya where he finished 4th in the GC.
DOMENICO POZZOVIVO could be the outsider of the race. He finished as the king of the mountains at this year’s Tour of the Alps, a distinction that could pay major dividends on this year’s race route.
MIGUEL ANGEL LOPEZ is the favourite for the Young Rider classification. He has never ridden the Giro but finished 8th in the Vuelta last year, claiming a couple of stage victories. He could also go for the King of the Mountains classification. The Astana captain recently finished 2nd at the Tour of Oman (where he won the queen stage), third at the Abu Dhabi Tour and third at Tour of the Alps.
Another dark horse could be MICHAEL WOODS. The Canadian finished seventh at last season’s Vuelta out of nowhere and runner-up in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège in what was a very challenging field.
