Giro d’Italia 2024: Tadej Pogačar favored as Primož Roglič opts out

In the world of cycling, the Giro d’Italia is one of the most prestigious events on the calendar. With the 2024 edition just around the corner, all eyes are on the red-hot favorite, Tadej Pogačar.

After Primož Roglič claimed the title in 2023, the pressure is on Pogačar to continue the trend of champions failing to defend their title in the following year. With nobody winning consecutive Giro titles in over 30 years, history is not on Pogačar’s side. However, the two-time Tour de France winner is determined to break the curse and add the Giro to his list of accomplishments.

Roglič’s decision to skip this year’s event has only added to Pogačar’s status as the overwhelming favorite. With his impressive track record and current form, Pogačar is poised to make a strong bid for the title and cement his status as one of the top cyclists in the world.

For fans looking to catch all the action, UK viewers can watch the Giro d’Italia 2024 live on discovery+ and GCN+. With regular highlights shows across various platforms, including Eurosport and S4C, fans can stay up to date on all the biggest moments of the race.
