Four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome says he will ride the Giro d’Italia next year in an attempt to hold all three Grand Tour titles at once.
That will come in May, two months before Froome tries to win a record-tying fifth Tour de France.
Froome, 32 and a double Olympic bronze medalist, won the Spanish Vuelta for the first time in September.
Victory at the Giro in May would make him the seventh rider in history to win all three Grand Tours in a career.
The others were Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Felice Gimondi, Bernard Hinault, Alberto Contador and Vincenzo Nibali.
