After back-to-back top 10s, Storer is gearing up for the Giro again in 2026

The Giro d'Italia's 10th overall finisher in 2024 and 2025 is running it back in 2026. At Tudor's media day on Wednesday, the team announced the plans of its marquee riders, with Stefan Küng and Julian Alaphilippe unsurprisingly targeting the cobbled and Ardennes Classics, respectively, while Michael Storer sets his sights yet again on the Giro.

The 2025 season proved to be a career year for the 28-year-old Australian, who also won the Tour of the Alps and landed on a Monument podium at Il Lombardia. He is hoping to improve on his already solid Giro track record this time around, while also eyeing a return to the Tour de France, telling Escape Collective that he is currently on the long list for selection.
