Chris Froome at the 2017 Tour de France (ASO/Pauline BALLET)
Chris Froome has confirmed that he will ride the Giro d'Italia in 2018 as he looks to become the first rider in 20 years to win the Giro and Tour in the same year, and the first rider since 1982 to have held all three Grand Tours at the same time.
The current Tour de France and Vuelta a España champion will line up at the start of the individual time trial in Jerusalem on May for his only his second attempt at the Giro d'Italia, and his first since 2011.
