With five Giro d’Italia editions already in his saddlebag, Larry Warbasse is hardly in unfamiliar territory at Italy’s Grand Tour. The Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale veteran says he’s finding a rich new vein of motivation by working for teammate Ben O’Connor in the race this May.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a GC leader to work for in a Grand Tour with podium potential, so that’s exciting,” the US rider told Cyclingnews. With three crunch stages coming from Thursday onwards in the Giro d’Italia, starting with a day out on the gravel roads of Tuscany, O’Connor will likely be looking for as much support as possible from his squad.
