Chris Harper, a loyal domestique for Jayco-AlUla, is poised to compete for personal glory at the Giro d'Italia, aiming for a top-ten finish. The 30-year-old has built a solid foundation with a sixth overall at last year's Volta a Catalunya and is approaching this Giro following health setbacks. His team, learning from past experiences, is optimistic about Harper's potential. David McPartland emphasizes Harper's capabilities, saying heâs ready for this year's challenge even with limited prior racing, making this a pivotal moment in his cycling career.
He's built for Grand Tours, but he hasn't had the opportunity really to be the leader in a Grand Tour yet, so it's going to be really interesting this year and exciting to see what he can do at the Giro.
It's a race that should suit him, and I think even though he also hasn't raced a lot, everything indicates that he'll be ready to be at a good level.
