Teams & Riders Giulio Pellizzari is the next Giulio Ciccone

[SafeBet]

Wasn't he also sick during the first half of the Giro and wanted to leave the race?

Could be. Many Bardiani riders were under the weather earlier, but if I'm not mistaken Cassani claimed he was just fatigued in the second week.

Very impressive performances from him this giro. Can see him fight for a top 5-10 already next year!

Surely, if anything he's a reverse Ciccone.
Ciccone gives sunglasses.
Pellizzari gets sunglasses.

And Wout Poels took sunglasses (on the 2014 Zoncolan stage).

Wout Poels has a lot of names.
'Giulio' isn't one of them.

Looks like the next ultra mythical pure climber to me but not so sure he becomes a GC podium guy unless the course and field aligns. Could be the new Landa or a much better Jay Vine who can actually stay upright.

I put it in the stage thread, but the progress is so surprising that it's worth putting it here.

I suspect that the itt training and equipment is like 5x better at a top WT squad. Plus he probably had zero incentives to try to do a good itt at bardiani. Still, very promising!
