Australia's top road sprinter is back on the Grand Tour stage-winning hunt -- and Kaden Groves even hopes his rejuvenation could transport him into the pink at the Giro d'Italia.
Back in action and feeling confident after a season interrupted so far by a knee injury, the speedster from Gympie is the key hope for his Alpecin-Premier Tech team at the season's opening grand tour which begins in Bulgaria on Friday.
In the absence of their star men Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen, the Belgian team is throwing strong sprint support resources behind the Queenslander, trusting in him to once again produce the goods despite the knee trouble that forced him to miss the spring classics campaign.
