MANCHESTER, UK, Jan. 28, 2020 – Here’s a shout out to fans of competitive cycling.
Sports Tours International had Americans top of mind when it designed two European cycle and spectate vacations celebrating the Giro d’Italia 2020 this spring.
Why?
Because overseas visitors from North America can be there, right on the routes, to support two cyclists from the United States who plan to throw their prowess against Richard Carapaz of Ecuador, who will be returning to Giro d’Italia 2020 to defend his title. The Yanks are Tejay van Garderen of Tacoma, WA, and Travis McCabe, an Arizona native who rides for UCI World Team Israel Start-Up Nation.
Also expected to compete are international cycling stars Geraint Thomas of Wales; Romain Bardet of France; Jakob Fuglsang, born in Switzerland, now of Denmark; Remco Evenepoel of Belgium; the UK’s Simon Yates; current individual time trial world champion Rohan Dennis of Australia; Vincenzo “The Shark” Nibali of Italy and Peter Sagan of Slovakia.
The Giro d’Italia, along with the Tour de France and La Vuelta a Espana, is one of the Grand Tours of cycling, a key event in the pro tour calendar.
