Fausto‘s on it, Woohoo!

Thanks. At least it will be ready for an inclusion in the coming years.

I wonder when we'll see the best side of Mortirolo again. Combined with the classic Aprica finish. It has been far tool long since last time.

Unfortunately, i don't think Aprica is the reachest ski station, nor the province or Brescia is the most intersted in promoting that area, so the absence of classic Mortirolo may also have some economical reason.

Anyway, terrible route this year. Some stages are fine in isolation, but the way the overall Giro is constructed doens't convince me in the slightest

5 Norwegians at the start line even without UNO-X.

Svestad-Bårdseng, Tjötta, Gudmestad, Staune-Mittet and Byström.

Do you think JSM will ride for breakaways or try to go for GC? He should have a completely free role in the team.

No idea really. I doubt he is to 10 material this year so it depends if it would be beneficial for him to fight in GC for a top 30 finish or whether the time is better served going for stages. There is some benefit to go through having to fight every single day to hang on without rest to eventually become a GT rider but without knowing his overall training plans it's hard to know if he is in a spot to benefit from that now or not.

Really too bad. It's one of the two best combos in cycling. Even if they fix recta Contador, it's not the same.

Yeah. And what's a shame is that they didn't have to change too much in terms of start and finish locations to make it one of the best routes in later years.

I guess that's a positive, but then I really wish they would stop using the eastern ascent of the Moritrolo for a while.

 

[Onizuka999]

Rojas I think will be the first Chilean in the Giro ever.

 

[Onizuka999]

The startlist is better than the 2024. There will be a higher quality, more gc contenders and more puncheurs.

Will be amazing to see a neutralized Mortiwronglol 5 more times before we see her classical side again.

Rojas I think will be the first Chilean in the Giro ever.

Carlos Ivan Oyarzun in 2011. Don‘t know if there were more.

This is why it was really annoying that they did a stage finish at Aprica in 2022, and for some reason used the eastern side of the Mortirolo, when it made more sense to use the classic side.

It's still last year's edition on the site: https://www.giroditalia.it/garibaldi/

But the individual stage pages have climb details etc. now.

Had they just done Trivigno as the penultimate climb, it'd have been a much better stage.

That stage was not bad per se, but I also prefer the classic Mortirolo stage, especially if you include the Corteno Golgi murito instead of the full statale.

Seeing they just started working on the roads a month ago according to Eshnar, I think the road book might still take a while.
They'll probably publish it around the same time EF announces their team.

 

[capuldemetal]

il garibali will be published tommorow afaik

I'm afraid I can't do that. So you better be patient..!

 

[Onizuka999]

Yannis Voisard will replace Hirschi...

RCS won't even be able to retaliate after Tudor breaks their deal like that, as they will qualify for an automatic wildcard next year.

Looking at the last climb, stage 3 my already be a GC stage.

Something similar will happen to the Vuelta with Q36.5 and Pidcock.

Pidcock has said his goal is the MTB World Championships. Before the Vuelta even starts, they'll say he's not going, or at most, he'll retire in the first day of rest.

"This kind of behaviour is disgusting and disrespectful to these great and historic races, and you would never have seen anybody dare to behave like this in my time", said a prominent ex-cyclist disappointed to see such withdrawals.
