Ben Swift wants to win a race and is eyeing a return to the Tour de France in what could prove to be the final season of his long career. 

The Ineos Grenadiers road captain has created a niche role for himself at the Giro d’Italia the last three years, using his turn of speed in 2024 to, among other things, block eventual champion Tadej Pogačar at intermediate primes and assist teammate Geraint Thomas to third overall.
