He will probably finish in the top 60 today.

Not quite, top-100 today

Fausto is racing today the GP Marseillaise. His first time doing that race. Diego Rosa never had it in his palmares. Vai fausto!

I had a dream last night that Fausto finished second on GC on the upcoming tour de la provence.

No chance. Langellotti is there.

Fausto has not even been selected for the tour de Provence. So I do not know the strange meaning of this dream I had.

Next race is Tour of Sardinia starting on Wednesday.

A break from racing after January but no training camp, just training at home. There was an MHB Ballan team presentation in Budapest a couple of weeks ago though.

Let's see how is the level.

A perfect race for him. Glorious solo incoming on the Su Pradu climb!

I don't know if Fausto is trying for GC at tour of Sardinia or if he is just a road captain. Today he did a lot of work on the front for zoccatato (I presume), when MHB were the only team interested in chasing the 4 attackers. I was happy with the performance but it was an uphill battle when no other teams wanted to help.

His 17th place on the stage is his best result in a stage or GC since the 2024 tour of Oman, over 2 years ago, which is both pretty nice and pretty sad.

Let's see how the rest of the week goes.
