Tao Geoghegan Hart of Ineos Grenadiers has said that today is “just another Sunday” – but it’s one that could see him crowned the winner of the 103rd edition of the Giro d’Italia as he goes head to head with Team Sunweb’s Jai Hindley in today’s closing 15.7 kilometre individual time trial in Milan.

Their high-stretch, lightweight fabrics are aimed at giving riders an aerodynamic advantage, while the reflective logos are bright and eye-catching.
