The GOAT & EF Giromania

 

The 🐐 strikes again

EF Education Easypost is ready...

"We have to approach this Giro with humility and a bold attitude. This is one of the strongest teams that we have ever brought to the Giro. Hugh is really strong and Rigo is really on it. We have tons of experience. It is going to be a very honest race. We will have to fight every day to achieve something. You never really know what is going to happen. It is a super, super tough course, but it is tough for everybody. I like that challenge.

Rigo brings in a lot of x-factor. There is this aura around him that makes people calm in a way, because we have always been able to rely on him. He doesn't say much, but when he does, people listen. I expect a lot. He is really focused and really on it. He wants to finish his career on a top, top level. That is the reason he wanted to do the Giro. He said it himself. He is super ready. And that will ease the pressure."

"We have a strong team. I hope for a stage. We all want to do a great job. It is a long and very hard race and I want to help the team every day at the front'

-Rigo Uran

"The whole event: the pink, the starts with all of the balloons, and people by the barriers and things just feel right. It is a nice race. The fans are great. Italy is a knowledgeable cycling country. The people really appreciate seeing riders up close. 

It has been a different build to last year. I find myself in good shape. I think with the team that we have and the way we have raced so far this year, we can aim high. There are going to be ups and downs like there always are at the Giro but hopefully we can come through the other side of it as a strong team with a strong set of results between us."
