Moho got outdescendend by Nico Denz in the wet in the 2018 Giro when they battled for the win of stage 10. Denz is actually an overlooked great descender. Remember in the 2020 Giro when DSM was leading the race he rode at the front of the peloton on one of the mountain stages leading them down...

Hennig tested positive for Covid and is out for Östersund

Fwiw Hennig has been very vocal about working on her engine this last summer. She significantly increased her training load apparently

The rumour I heard is that he retired. Though not 100% sure.

Still wondering how much the increasing wind affected the junior men's results. McKenzie certainly profited a bit. Not sure how much though.

The whole Bairrada team got the gift of those helmets. It's not only Morgado riding with them but Tavares and the others as well. Most rumours have Morgado joining UAE due to the Almeida/Corso/Correia connection after his Axeon stint.

It's a first step to further expand the race without having to put on another road stage (the race is still running a deficit mind) It's further incentive to potential hosts of the first stage, giving them another day of exposure It acts as an riders/team presentation but with actual racing...

Frigo's got a broken wrist. Agree about the De Pretto/Buratti non-selection though.

Most international team aren't peaking for this though. Or only with their 2nd row riders. They did Baby Giro peak and then the GC riders are now building up for l'Avenir again. So makes sense that Italians are more competitive here. The racing at Aosta is also far more unpredictable due to how...

Ganna go brrrr

Junior program still seems to have enough money. At least they got a team over in europe currently racing some of the big junior races like Morbihan, Pays de Vaud etc. And concerning the U23s there is at least the cooperation between Inform and Trinity these days which should see some of the...

BikeExchange most likely at this point. https://www.velonews.com/news/road/transfer-analysis-can-ineos-grenadiers-keep-adam-yates-and-richard-carapaz/

Kämna will be nowhere near the magila rosa. This stage suits Juanpe far more than him. Etna had extended periods of shallow gradients which suited Kämna. Same for the wind above the treeline which Juanpe had more difficulty dealing with. Kämna will lose quite a bit of time here imo. Especially...

Well now that Arri is gone there is at least hope that Movistar DSing can be a bit less farcial.

Especially Sinkeldam and Scotson are very impressive. Not sure Guarnieri will be in that leadout after this year tbh
