Giro d’Italia 2018: benvenuti all’edizione numero 101 della Corsa Rosa. Dal 4 al 27 maggio, da Gerusalemme a Roma, si accendono i riflettori del primo Grand Tour dell’anno, che dovrà eleggere il successore di Tom Dumoulin nell’albo d’oro. La startlist è ormai fatta, tanti i nomi che hanno deciso di essere al via da Israele. Scopriamo insieme i 196 corridori in rappresentanza di 22 squadre (18 WorldTour più le 4 Professional Androni-Sidermec, Bardiani-Csf, Wilier-Selle Italia e Israel Cycling Academy).
Chi si contenderà la classifica generale? Presente il campione uscente Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb), ma tutti i riflettori sono puntati su Chris Froome (Team Sky), in gara nonostante la non ancora chiarita vicenda legata al salbutamolo. Fabio Aru (UAE) la principale punta azzurra – presenti anche Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain-Merida) e Davide Formolo (Bora-Hansgrohe) – Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Esteban Chaves e Simon Yates (Mitchelton-Scott), Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) e Louis Meintjes (Dimension Data) gli altri big al via. Clicca qui per un’analisi dei favoriti alla Maglia Rosa.
Passiamo ai velocisti. Tante aspettative sugli italiani Elia Viviani (Quick Step Floors), Jakub Mareczko (Wilier-Selle Italia), Andrea Guardini (Bardiani-Csf), Sacha Modolo (EF Drapac); in campo straniero si annoverano in particolare il pluripiazzato dello scorso anno Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) e Danny Van Poppel (LottoNL-Jumbo).
I cacciatori di tappe. Qui i nomi sono moltissimi. Spicca la presenza di Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal), Luis Leon Sanchez e Alexey Lutsenko (Astana), Giulio Ciccone (Bardiani-Csf), lo specialista delle crono Rohan Dennis (Bmc), Ruben Plaza (Israel Academy), Zdenek Stybar (Quick Step Floors), Michael Woods (EF Drapac), Robert Gesink (LottoNL-Jumbo), Wout Poels (Sky), Carlos Betancur e Marc Soler (Movistar), Gianluca Brambilla e Jarlinson Pantano (Trek-Segafredo), Darwin Atapuma e Diego Ulissi (UAE), Edoardo Zardini (Wilier-Selle Italia), Francesco Gavazzi, Fausto Masnada e Rodolfo Torres (Androni-Sidermec).
