Tao Geoghegan Hart has admitted he
never thought he would win the Giro d'Italia until be claimed
his first Grand Tour on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Britain became the first rider ever to win the
Giro having never worn the pink leader's jersey during the
three-week race.
The Team Ineos rider grabbed his chance in the last-day
time-trial to win cycling's second-biggest stage race, which had
seen many big names pull out because of COVID-19 and his
teammate Geraint Thomas withdraw though injury after a crash.
"Right until I reached Milan, I didn't think I was going to
win," he said.
"It's crazy. It's going to take a long time to sink in".
