Vegni @ Radiocorsa (RAI) about the 2022
#Giro route having few ITT kms: "The choice is aligned with the suggestions that we are given by the riders, even the big stage races riders pay attention on how much km you have against the time, because it can penalize their effort"
Vegni: "Paying attention to the suggestions coming from these riders we tried to reduce in an important way the number of the ITT and the kms in them"
Vegni answering Beppe Conti saying that last ITT shall be long and Nibali lost giro from Carapaz because last ITT wasn't long in 2019: "Opinions, I think 17 km is enough to have gaps, if there are big gaps after 20 stages it's not fair to lose the jersey at the 21st stage"
Vegni about if there Giro can attract big names: "There all the features in the route for this. Everyone will make his choice. I'd like to see a challenge on two grand tours per season from the riders that represent the future of this sport"
Vegni: "Winning three or four time the Tour de France doesn't make a great difference, but winning Giro and Tour in the same season gives you a really important distinctive element"
Vegni: "Now we'll start our work to bring a decent cast to this Giro as the routes are up to the big riders we want to have some of them like in the last years"
