Domenico Pozzovivo appreciation thread

[RedheadDane]

It would have been a surprise if he had avoided going down. Let's hope the crash has corrected the damage done by his millions of previous crashes, so that he'll be able to win the Giro.

Imagine if it actually worked like that. Certain riders would just constantly be jumping off their bikes at full speed...

Hope he can continue - could still be good in week 3. We're rooting for you!

Something like Homer Simpson's miracle spinal cylinder?

Ninja like, Domenico moves into GC top 20. He's been down, but he's not out!

How about the TDF partnering up with Dawg?

 

[Rob5091]

Sad to see Pozzovivo go home early, along with quite a few others. Hope he can come back soon.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Apparently he's back next Tuesday for CIC Mont Ventoux along with Mike Woods and Dawg

He's off to La Route d'Occitaine (which had 40C temperatures last year, if I remember correctly) but no Tour yet.

Domenico putting the watts down on the front, all the young climbers in disarray and grimacing behind him. Grande pozzo hopefully there are better results to come this season.

Clément Champoussin does have the best painface ever in the background.

No TdF for Domenico

No TdF for Domenico

Have a rest and do Vuelta and Italian classics

 

[Rob5091]

Yep, shame for Domenico - but Froome and Fugelsang are also missing out, so maybe IPT have decided to get rid of the "golden oldies". Hope Pozzovivo gets to do the Vuelta though as he deserves one last GT.

 

[ZamlinusYoutubeious]

One last mountain raid in la vuelta would be great.

 

[JR1012]

That would be great to see him in the Vuelta. But as it is right now, Israel Premier Tech isn't invited to the Vuelta.

Domenico is back in action today (with Fuglsang) at Vuelta a Castilla y León 2023

DNF Stage 1 - any one know what happened?

DNF Stage 1 - any one know what happened?

No idea…

I just took the time to check results of their eight TdF starters before 2023 TdF. I was shocked and angry that they left Pozzovivo at home. The whole Tour was tailormade for him!

He was in excellent shape, and furthermore deserved a reward for a great 2023 until then.

What a shame… So sad…

Top 10 next weekend. Hopefully he gets another contract. Incredible that he can be this good first race back after the injuries he had.

Exactly…

Same for Carapaz - incredible.

Pozzovivo is good as gold, he‘s a truly amazing rider - a person who truly loves what he does. I hope his career „never ends“…

14th at Giro dell'Emilia only a minute behind Roglic - not bad training for Lombardia. Hang on in there Dominico!
