'Hopefully, here I can take another step' - Simon Yates upbeat about Giro d'Italia despite double preparation setbacks of illness and being hit by car
Briefly

Simon Yates returns to the Giro d'Italia as a contender but with a different team dynamic, leading the Visma-Lease a Bike squad instead of Jayco-AIUIa. His team includes notable riders like Wout van Aert and Stephen Kruijswijk. Despite facing setbacks in preparation due to a traffic accident and illness, Yates remains optimistic about his performance, having a solid offseason. With good past results, including six stage wins, he aims to excel in the current race, currently ranking 13th overall after a time trial.
"I had a really good offseason, I didn't have any problems; unfortunately, in Tenerife for the first altitude camp, I was hit by a car, which delayed my preparation."
"This time, rather than being the main focus of attention, the Briton is part of a team that also includes Belgian allrounder Wout van Aert and sprinter Olav Kooij."
