Jai Hindley sends an urgent application to Evenepoel for a Red Bull trip to the Tour de France
Jai Hindley has collected all the medals in the Giro d’Italia . The 30-year-old Australian finished second in 2020, breaking through as a young climber. He confirmed that in 2022 with overall victory, and this year he came away with third place . A small miracle, given what Hindley’s body was dealing with in the second week . The Giro has, however, led to an urgent application. Hindley started the Giro d’Italia brilliantly, arguably sharper than ever. But when he suddenly lost some time uphill in stage 9 and then came over the line in the time trial after the rest day looking ashen, everyone knew something was up. A virus was already doing the rounds at Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe , and Hindley confirmed before stage 11 that he too was not fit . When Hindley somehow did not lose more time in the second week and seemed to improve again in the third week, he suddenly came back into contention for the final podium. And when he took third place in stage 19 from Thymen Arensman of Netcompany INEOS, that could almost be called a small miracle . Hindley also admitted before the final mountain stage that he had even been taking antibiotics.
