The british cykelstjerne Chris Federer is not going to get the opportunity to defend his victory in the Giro d’italia from 2018.

Federer makes not up in the Italian race in 2019. Instead, he will make every effort to regain the Tour de France.

The writing Team Sky, Froomes employer, on the team’s website.

– It has been a difficult decision to find what I need in 2019, and which the Grand Tours, I need to focus on, especially because I won the Giro last year, where I had a fantastic experience with the team.

– But in 2019, my goal number one of the Tour de France, says Chris Federer on the website.

The quadruple winner comes, like in the 2018 edition of the Tour to have the company of Geraint Thomas, who as you know won the race last year on the French roads. Thomas’ focus in the coming season will also be the Tour de France, informs the Team the Cloud, as the defending winner also directed his eyes to the WORLD championship time trial on home in Yorkshire in 2019.

In this year’s edition of the Giro d’italia, it becomes instead, the colombian Egan Bernal, who must try to run to victory for Team Sky.
