Deceuninck-QuickStep's Remco Evenepoel has confirmed he will target the maglia rosa at the Giro d'Italia in October, promising to ride an aggressive race as he tests his limits on his Grand Tour debut.

Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo), Richard Carapaz (Team Ineos) and most recently Marc Soler (Movistar) have confirmed they will also target the rescheduled Giro d'Italia, with Nibali acknowledging that the 20-year-old Evenepoel could be a threat, despite his lack of experience.
