Following Ilnur Zakarin’s overall victory at the Tour de Romandie on Sunday, Team Katusha director Dmitry Konyshev said that his Russian GC contender will start the Giro d’Italia with the purpose of gaining valuable experience.
“I think for this year we have to be happy with his good result as it met his goal and now he goes to the Giro d’Italia for experience. I think it’s very important for him to go to this race and see how he does in a three week race,” Konyshev said.
