In the TF1 years I do think so, yes!

I would have expected Vacek or Teutenberg to step up in absence of Pedersen. Both weren't fielded today, just Milan. Maybe that was the simple fault. Lidl overestimated his ability/shape for today

Again no Van der Poel?

Evenepoel won a 2022 Vuelta a Espana where he was able to come from altitude camp in peak shape and hit the hardest 2 mountains still being super fresh. Afterwards there hardly were any true obstacles. Neither @Libertine Seguros nor @hrotha with full Spanish patriotism considered that specific...

Evgeni Berzin all over again. And Evgeni actually won a proper Grand Tour with the 1994 Giro d'Italia and kinda confirmed that performance in 1995 before fading away and sinking on every proper ascend!

Rabobank returns!?

Sounds like except for Almeida & Pellizzari a lot of Giro d'Italia contenders have a troubled season entrance

What the heck is going on with Tao!?

That was my question since they could argue Cofidis & Caja Rujal declined. Unibet certainly accepts though so I agree it most definitely isn't allowed. They're invited Soloution Tech to all of their other RCS events anyway whose rooster nowadays is less Italian than MBH Bank which is the...

Because they might prefer an Italian farm team.

If RCS offers their final wildcard to Cofidis & Caja Rujal while both reject their invitation. Can the Giro d'Italia build a case out of it to invite either Soloution Tech or MBH Bank like they've done in the women's field!? Wouldn't be surprised if their lawyer looks into this currently before...

That makes sense in contrary to Wielerflits framing!

RCS broke the rules in the women's world tour by inviting continental teams apparently. Soloution Tech or MBH Bank at the Giro d'Italia might not be fully out of question then.

In the old system they were able to invite strong local continental teams to races like the Omloop rather than pro continental teams that had no business in that particular race!

Any chance they try to get an exemption for the Hungarian team!?
