Loyal domestique Chris Harper has been given a chance to show his own overall aspirations at a Grand Tour, with Jayco-AlUla backing the South Australian to chase a place in the top ten at the Giro d’Italia.
"He's built for Grand Tours, but he hasn't had the opportunity really to be the leader in a Grand Tour yet, so it's going to be really interesting this year and exciting to see what he can do at the Giro," David McPartland told Cyclingnews from the sidelines of the Tour of the Alps at the end of last month.
