People that rode the Giro rarely rarely ever do well in Suisse. I think Dauphine you might still have some of that form left but two weeks after the Giro is just a bad spot.
Shouldn't have been selected here but hope he gets some good miles in. Training camp in July and then start coming back for some August races.

Much better performance today. 36th. Finished in the group with geoghen hart, kruijsvijk, lemmen. Put time into benoot and langelotti. Maybe all hope is not lost for some results later in the season. Probably just not trying yesterday

Fausto has confirmed his participation in the Italian championship tomorrow. Big race., hopefully a big performance. Go Fausto!

A comment from Fausto - 'a competition that awards the tricolor is always special and is only right to be there to try and honor it'.
Sadly dnf. Can't find any more details. Didn't see him in the race once. Another rubbish day of being a Fausto fan

Fausto was training with Remco for a couple of rides in Livigno. Now Fausto came down from altitude, training at home and been going on rides with Cjccone. I hope Giulio can share some of his training advice as to how good he was this year. Maybe then we could see Fausto back at a high level.

Well.

Fausto has been confirmed to transfer to MHB bank Ballan for 2026.

Currently a continental team, they hope to get promoted to pro conti for the start of next season. Along with Fausto, they have signed Alessandro Fancellu, good climber, and Davide persico.

I am going to be totally honest and say that this is not the direction I wanted Fausto career to go in. Shame that he does not have a spot in the world tour.

Why do you say "hope to get promoted"? They are 100% becoming a professional team next year.

This has surprised me as I honestly thought he already rode for them.

What an awful performance at the vuelta so far.

I didn't see him do anything at all. Now he got this new pro conti contract Im close to lost all hope that he will get some results this season.

No attacks, no big pacing, nowhere in GC. Really a shame. Hopefully he gets stronger through the race as training for the Italian classics.

Never fear, Lombardy is looming, maybe go one better this time.

Fausto arrived in rwanda on Thursday, just 4 days after vuelta. He is doing some good trainings and has plenty of time to adapt the conditions - he arrive 10 days before the race

He seems in a good mood.

After worlds championship, Fausto should do the following races

-Giro dell'emilia
-Coppa bernocchi
-Il lombardia
-Tour of guanx

I am hoping for at least one top 10. That would make me happy.

Did the Italian NC Coach already discuss his role for during the WC? Get in an early break or help out Ciccone as much as possible?
