Thanks!
His status on PCS changed to indicate he’s on the squad for liege. Maybe he thinks (or the team thinks) that he still has good form but hasn’t been able to use it b/c of the crashes, so this gives him another chance?Powless Insta story says "2 crashes in 2 races"
No Chaves for the Giro.
What are they planning to do with him, to send him to these small ***ty races so that they can score points?
These type of riders are built for long run endurance. Maybe they can get something good out of him. But please no Vuelta again after the long season.

In 2021 he was ***ty and he was 13th at the Tour. He has struggled with weight and mono for quite a while and this year he looks fitter than in a long time. I agree that it would be a gamble but not a big one if you ask me.Chaves hasn't been able to recover in a Grand Tour for seven years now.
Absolutely, never a gamble with Chaves.In 2021 he was ***ty and he was 13th at the Tour. He has struggled with weight and mono for quite a while and this year he looks fitter than in a long time. I agree that it would be a gamble but not a big one if you ask me.
Depends on their targets this year but Healy held some of his Ardennes form he would be a good bet for a breakaway win on a hilly stage. Of course “good bet” is relative since the probability for any individual rider to win from a break is quite small. But he could be a good candidate for that role.and they are still busy designing a new jersey, of course.
De Bod did 130k on the time trial bike today, so I guess he will be around. Not sure who'll miss out, though. Maybe Healy? A bit of a break could make sense for him.
Gosh, I forgot about the shirts. What will it be this time?
Did he say should ride or more in a should have ridden way if not for his crash?Bettiol should ride the Giro or at least he said so in a recent Twitch stream.
He sounded confident he'd be selected.Did he say should ride or more in a should have ridden way if not for his crash?
Uran, Healy, Carthy and Cort were at the press conference. They said the other four riders will be Caicedo, Cepeda, Bettiol and de Bod.EF's Giro press conference takes place this afternoon, so normally the team should be known later on today.
So these 2 riders are out:Uran, Healy, Carthy and Cort were at the press conference. They said the other four riders will be Caicedo, Cepeda, Bettiol and de Bod.
