• ‘If I was in my rivals’ position, I would be scared’
A supremely confident Simon Yates, the winner of cycling’s last Grand Tour, the Vuelta a España, starts the Giro d’Italia in Bologna on Saturday hellbent on revenge for his humiliation in the race a year ago.
“I’ve been thinking about this race for almost 12 months now,” Yates said. “I’ve been very dedicated, very focused about it. If I was in my rivals’ position, I would be scared. I would be shitting myself.”
