rhubroma said:Yes his degree in economics is factual. He also plays piano and is a bit of a dilettante in meteorology. Goes well with his profession. Overall, a well rounded guy. Great move today for sure.
Bala Verde said:Perhaps that's it. When you look at Belda (here on Youtube, if that's the correct Belda) it seems it has a lot to do with them being so short.
When Pozzo climbs standing, it sometimes looks as if his feet are pulling his bike forward, because they are incidentally fixed to his pedals; meaning, they obviously do, but it's as if he falls forward, while with every pedal stroke he is reminded of the fact that some annoying thing under and behind him is holding him back, and he chooses to drag it a long.
Anyway... so much for over-analyzing.![]()
profff said:pozzo is really a nice guy, very intelligent one .
in the processo he was very nice and not banal at all, as usual.
he is really outstanding in terms of education and politeness among italian riders.
i like him very much since he was in the zalf team as under 23.
lot of people were doubting about his chances in the pro world due to his physical limits but he was able in years to show that in good days he is really strong.
racing for colnago which is a good team but without the kind riders able to protect him on the flat and windy stages was limiting hisperformances in the past in giro. this year he was luckier. i hope he will not fall in an ambush on an easy stage. in the mountain he will be a factor and it will be very interesting see him and ruyano run a similar race.....
this year he was really impressive in trentino and in appennino too.
the only one able to contrast him was betancourt, but unfortunately he is not at the giro...to the likes of huzarski and barta ( thank you acquarone...)
gilbertador said:If Liquigas lose Nibali he could be a great replacemnt, he says he wants to ride the tour and that means he needs to leave colnago, could work well for both parties
Ruudz0r said:He already resigned with Colnago
gilbertador said:Terrible move and from someone who claims to be an economist, with the good trentino result and a Giro win he could have looked forward to leadership opportunities and a big salary elsewhere. For me it stinks when a rider doesn t go to world tour level when he is easily capable, it lacks of ambition for sure

brilleaben said:It could be epic with the two dwarf climbers Pozzovivo and Rujano battling it out on the steepest mountains. Maybe they will even force Basso to accelerate just once?
Ruudz0r said:Impressed with Pozzovivo's performance today, he managed to get to the front on the flat part and stay in front during the chaotic roads towards the climb. 3 more days to survive and then its time to shine and win the points + climber + overall classificiation!
