• ‘I have unfinished business there’
• Yates pays tribute to Australian team
Simon Yates joined the exclusive club of Grand Tour champions on Sunday and then began plotting the next one. It is not likely to be the Tour de France, at least not yet. Instead, Yates revealed, it is the Giro d’Italia that will probably be his priority in 2019.
“My gut feeling is that I’d like to go back to the Giro because I have unfinished business there,” he said, the memory still raw of his collapse, 48 hours from the end of the race, in May. “I’ve not thought about it too much because I’ve been concentrating on this and the world championships [in Innsbruck in two weeks]. But my gut feeling is that’s where I’d like to try again.”
