"The 2020 Giro d'Italia? The goal was to wear the pink jersey for a few days and support Thomas: everything seemed perfect, then everything went awry due to the injury in Geraint. With a lot of willpower we started pedaling in the style of Garibaldi, going on the run and winning a few stages. In the end, Tao Gheogegan Hart managed to finish all this work of Ineos very well ".
So Filippo Ganna, interviewed by Radio Sportiva, took stock of the cycling season.
"If I can win a Grand Giro? I don't think about it at the moment - adds the world champion of the time trial -. I'm not like Wiggins, who had come to weigh 75 kilos; already this year I arrived at the Giro very tight. I want to continue on this path. The future? There will still be Ineos in my life, we will work together this year and in those to come. Froome has made the history of cycling, he is a big head and, when he wants something, he gets it: I hope he can win still a great Giro ".
Finally, on the upcoming Olympics, Ganna revealed that "the plan is to participate in the Giro to get ready for Tokyo; however, who knows. A goal for 2021 would be to get to the Giro in the pink jersey on home roads, but the fundamental goal it will be the time trial Olympics and the quartet test. The road race in Tokyo? I have always worn the blue jersey with head and heart and, if coach Cassani says I can do it, I follow him. now? In 2021 there is a lot of meat on the fire, after the important appointments that will come too ".
