Ineos Grenadiers have published their 2022 Giro d’Italia lineup with 2019 winner Richard Carapaz confirmed as overall leader, for what on paper is set to be one of the most powerful GC squads of the race.

A podium finisher in all three Grand Tours, fourth in 2018 and with an unexpected but well-deserved outright victory in the 2019 Giro d’Italia, Carapaz aims to succeed fellow South American Egan Bernal as the overall winner again this May. A second Carapaz overall win on May 29 in Verona - the same city where the race finished in 2019 and with a similar short time trial as well - would also be Ineos Grenadiers’ fourth in the Giro d’Italia in five years.
