“My Giro in numbers,” De Gendt wrote on Twitter. And then his impressive list began: “3,859 kilometers or 104 hours and 36 minutes spent on a bicycle, 3,150 kilometers or 70 hours spent in a bus and car, three flights, one ferry, 99,296 kilocalories consumed and eaten, 50,378 altimeters, 20 different hotels, four beers, one stage win, unlimited leg pain”, he concluded with a joke. And all that in three weeks.

Last Monday, De Gendt felt ‘guilty’ because he was not on his bike for the first time in three weeks. “It feels illegal not to race today,” the Lotto-Soudal rider tweeted.

De Gendt finished this year’s Tour of Italy in 74th place at 3 hours and 49 minutes from winner Jai Hindley. He was the third Belgian after Mauri Vansevenant (30th) and Sylvain Moniquet (48th). Ten years after his victory at the Stelvio, De Gendt won another stage in the Giro. He won the eighth stage in and around Naples.
