Wout van Aert is expected to make his Giro d'Italia debut in 2024, forgoing the Tour de France to instead lead Jumbo-Visma at the Italian Grand Tour and then prepare for the Paris Olympic road race and time trial.
The Dutch team believe that Van Aert can take aim at the top five in the general classification next May, according to a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The 2024 Corsa Rosa includes 20% less climbing than in recent years, with the two time trial stages giving Van Aert a chance to gain time on key rivals.
