Tour of the Alps winner Michael Storer not afraid of peaking too early ahead of Giro d'Italia GC assault

LIENZ AUSTRIA APRIL 25 Michael Storer of Australia and Tudor Pro Cycling Team celebrates at podium as Green Leader Jersey overall race winner during the 45th Tour of the Alps 2025 Stage 5 a 1127km stage from Lienz to Lienz on April 25 2025 in Lienz Austria Photo by Tim de WaeleGetty Images.

When a rider performs as well as Michael Storer (Tudor Pro Cycling) did at the Tour of the Alps, it would be easy to imagine they were at their peak, and perhaps hitting top form a little early ahead of the Giro d'Italia, but the Australian has brushed off any concerns about peaking too early.

Storer went on big solo moves on three of the five stages – one to win a stage, one to try and defend his leader's jersey, and one last one to reclaim the lead and win the race – and looks to be as strong as we've ever seen him.
