All these cyclists were, without a doubt, either former top stars or current hot contenders.
As for the title-favorite UAE Team, besides Pogačar, they also had Bjerg, Maïga, Novak, and Morano, among others.
"I'm so jealous of these guys. I wonder when I'll get to ride in a Grand Tour!"
In a rented apartment near Bora Headquarters, Huang Chong, who wasn't competing, was staying behind to train and watch the Giro d'Italia, his tone unconsciously betraying his envy.
Chen Junyi was also by his side, watching the race with him during the live broadcast instead of attending to her own studies and work.
She had followed Huang Chong all over for his races, so by now she was, of course, thoroughly familiar with the culture and atmosphere of cycling in Europe.
But whether it was other stage races or one-day classics, their atmosphere couldn't compare to that of a Grand Tour.
So, of course, she could understand Huang Chong's eagerness to get on the course himself.
