Teams & Riders Giulio Pellizzari: Super Sub

[SafeBet]

Might have been sick but to me the most likely explanation is just fatigue after riding two GTs full gas.

Stage win and another top10 is probably the best case scenario he could have envisioned when starting the Vuelta.

Now time to rest and think about 2026.

Commentator said he mentioned decompression after his stage win as reason for his poor time trial. That can play a role too.

He lost the jersey but to 6th places in GTs at such a young age is really promising. I hope they let him ride the Giro as leader or in a free role like in this Vuelta.

Too soon.

Italijanski up in adut, ki prijateljuje z mentorjem Rogličem in ima rad Pogačarja

Italijansko kolesarstvo v svoji bogati zgodovini še nikoli ni bilo dlje od vrha. Pogrešajo kolesarja, ki bi se boril za zmago na tritedenskih dirkah ali pa v tem boju vsaj navduševal "tifose". A v letu 2025 je Italijanom upanje vlil Giulio Pellizzari.

Race programme for 2026. Unlike Remco he is no scared of giving some different races a go.

Long interview with him in Italian about the past, present and future. He stayed off the bike for quite some time during off-season and got sick. He has been at altitude for 3 weeks before starting Valencia. Where he will focus on helping Evenepoel win the GC.

Numbers he's pushing are better than last year, so he's still improving.

Even though he didnt win in the end I think this solo was a very good sign from him. He is clearly a good climber, but yesterday was another sign that he also has a good engine outside of the mountains.

I wouldnt be surprised if he still has a lot of margin left and I see him contending for GT victories in the future. Very likeable rider as well.

He does indeed seem like a much more well-rounded rider than one would think. He was also great on the sterrato stage in the Giro last year, and I think his time trial was decent as well. I'm looking forward to seeing him in Strade this year. I think he can top 5 that race.

He also came from altitude. Not sure why they put Roglic, Hindley and Pellizzari at Tirreno-Addriatico. One of them at least could've gone to Paris-Nice.

Yesterday he impressed me; his weak point was flat terrain.
