Michael Storer, a dark horse contender for the Giro d'Italia, approaches the race with a realistic mindset following his impressive victory at the Tour of the Alps. While he dreams of winning the maglia rosa, he acknowledges the challenges ahead and emphasizes doing his personal best regardless of the outcome. Storer expresses gratitude for being mentioned alongside top competitors like Primož RogliÄ and Juan Ayuso, viewing it as a confidence boost and a reflection of his progress in the sport. His focus remains on self-improvement rather than pressure to achieve specific milestones.
"Of course, I'm dreaming of the pink jersey, but let's be realistic, it's extremely hard to win this race," said Storer.
"I'll be really happy as long as I do the best race I can, whether that puts me in the top 10, or the pink jersey, or I'm struggling to get through."
"I just take it as confidence that people think I can do it, because it just makes me feel like I've come a long way."
"Hopefully, I can also deliver on that, but if I don't, I'm used to the ups and downs of cycling."
