The new Word Champion Michał Kwiatkowski attended the 2015 Giro d’Italia presentation along with his team-mates Rigoberto Uran and Matteo Trentin on Monday, just after making his first-ever appearance in the rainbow jersey at Il Lombardia. The 24-year old Pole recently claimed that he will focus more on one-day classics in the nearest future, but called the balanced route of next year’s Italian three-week event as a one suitable for not only pure climbers, but more complete riders of his own kind. 

The organizers said the goal of the 98th edition is a balanced parcours, with five mountain stages, seven sprint stages, seven medium mountain stages, a 17.6km team time trial, and a 59.2km individual time trial for a total of 3,481,8 kilometers. There are seven uphill finishes at this year's Giro.

Just like Uran, Kwiatkowski emphasized that nothing has been decided in regards to his next year’s race programme yet and they will wait for the Tour de France 2015 route to be announced before choosing in which of the three-week events he will participate.

"I have good memories of the Giro," UCI World Road Champion Michal Kwiatkowski said. 

"In 2012 I rode the Giro for the first time, and it was also the first grand tour of my career. Of course this helped me learned how to suffer and made me stronger than before. It's always a demanding race. To be honest you can't just have a look at all the climbing you have to do as the only factor. You also have to check beyond the profile and look into the details. The Giro is always a race where something can happen around each corner. In any case it's a nice parcours, and for sure it is one of for the climbers. As this edition seems to be more balanced at first glance, it could maybe be one for a more complete rider as well. As for me, I don't know what I will do yet. The decision about my race schedule will be made in the next weeks. I will see together with the team what we will do. We will look at the parcours of the Tour and then prepare our first ideas of the program for next year."
