Like some of the other riders on this list, Zana’s been around the fringes for a while. He’s been gregario number one for Jayco-AlUla’s climber ace Eddie Dunbar, did all the legwork for Michael Matthews’ reduced sprint win on stage 3, and on Thursday, claimed his biggest win in front of his local crowd. Zana flew his Italian tricolore like a true champion through his fourth Giro.

If he can get those edges smoothed out, he’ll be unstoppable. Still only 20 years old, Milan is most definitely a rough diamond. He’s gotten his results the past weeks by unleashing wild “wattbombs” of speed from way back in the wheels and lacks much of the subtlety or savvy positioning of his experienced rivals. The most remarkable part of it all? Milan so far seems to rely on brute strength and force of will. Milan has been a cornerstone of Italy’s all-slaying track pursuit team in recent seasons, and so he’s not altogether new.īut after a few seasons kicking through the weeds in smaller road stage races, the towering Tolmezzan is now stamping himself as one of the fastest of the sprinter elite. If Milan makes it through Friday’s 19th “queen stage”, he’s also a dead-cert to become the first Italian maglia ciclamino since Elia Viviani in 2018. And despite his huge brawny frame, the mountains aren’t getting in his way either as he survives through the elevation-packed third week. The strapping fast-finisher won the Giro’s first bunch kick, and his charging bull sprint style landed him second four times since. Jonathan Milan hasn’t been “riding” through his grand tour debut, he’s been bulldozing it. Oh, and did we mention he’s a passionate ornithologist, too? Jonathan Milan (Bahrain Victorious) Jonathan Milan brings wild brute strength to Giro finishlines. If he keeps doing what he’s been doing through the past 18 stages of this Giro, he’ll be just fine. Gee only recently made a full-time pivot from track to road and said he’s still trying to discover where he fits in the peloton. Gee came into the corsa rosa expecting to be pulling for Israel Premier-Tech captains Domenico Pozzovivo and Simon Clarke, but will likely come out of it one of Israel-Premier Tech’s new number ones as he rides through a long-spanning contract to 2025. He was only denied victory by inches when Nico Denz outsprinted him last weekend and was best of the rest when Ben Healy left the breakaway swinging on the stage into Fossombrone. It seems a scandal that Derek Gee hasn’t claimed his first grand tour win after a breakaway-bustin, all-attacking ride through his Giro d’Italia debut. Countless kilometers in the break, no matter what the terrain. Here are the five riders that have broken out at this year’s Giro d’Italia: Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) Is there a breakaway Derek Gee hasn’t been in? (Photo: Stuart Franklin/Getty Images) The breakaways, bunch sprints, and race for the top-10 has been dominated by a pack of bright-eyed new talents. In Geraint Thomas and Primož Roglič, the general classification of this Giro d’Italia is currently ruled by two of the peloton’s most established grand tour stars.īut this corsa rosa isn’t all about known-name veterans.
