World champion Cadel Evans will race in May's 2010 Giro d'Italia as well as the 2010 Tour de France.

"Finally I am returning to the Giro. I have concentrated on the Tour in recent years but I think I am able to race two grand tours at a high level," the 32-year-old Australian told Tuesday's Gazzetta dello Sport, which runs the Giro.

The Team BMC rider last raced the Giro in 2002.
