ORBETELLO, Italy: Simon Yates has an unfinished business at the Giro d'Italia after a spectacular collapse in the finale last year and the Briton is oozing confidence on his return for this year's race.
"He is confident, he is showing his confidence. Riders these days don't give too much away but nothing caught people by surprise," his sports director Matt White told Reuters.Yates took second place in the opening time trial behind the impressive Primoz Roglic of Slovenia, whom he trails by 19 seconds going into Tuesday's fourth stage.
"He's had a good preparation coming into this race, he's confident, he's worked towards this for the last 12 months," said White.
