Felix Gall (Decathlon-CMA CGM) is the revelation of the Giro d'Italia and the first Austrian rider to be so well placed in a Grand Tour after a week of racing. He is shooting for the moon, for the 2026 Giro podium, in the hope of landing somewhere in the stars.
The 28-year-old is performing better than many of the expected GC contenders and better than he expected, but he is also keeping his feet on the ground, knowing there is still a lot of racing to come, including Tuesday's flat 42km time trial, where he could lose significant time to his biggest Jonas Vingegaard.
