Tao Geoghegan Hart is in the form of his career, winning two stages of the Tour of the Alps and finishing second overall on general classification behind his Team Ineos team-mate Pavel Sivakov.
His wins in Italy were his first as a professional, having made the step up to WorldTour level in 2017 following three years riding for Axel Merckx’s development teams, a conveyor belt of immense talent.
The Londoner is riding the Giro d’Italia this month, his second Grand Tour. Geoghegan Hart spoke to CW from his team’s training camp in Tenerife. “I’ve been building up to the Giro since November and this was my last big block of training,” he said. “I want to be really consistent for three weeks.”
