Teams & Riders Giulio Pellizzari: Super Sub

[armchairclimber]

I've had him in my CQ team for 3 years now. This year I fancy him to score well.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Just bumping his thread because people in another thread couldn't be bothered to.

Solid ride again today. Not the ideal route for him, so a GC podium would not be bad at all, and for now the win is still within reach.

@CyclistAbi you see theres hope. We love that Pelizzari has shown clear signs of improving and becoming stronger this year, whats not to love about that. One thing doesnt always mean the other my gucci enthusiast

 

[CyclistAbi]

Was the smartest rider today, no biggie.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Very strong!

 

[AlfaLum]

Pellizzari is close to being Red Bull best GC rider. Impressive improvements on the harder stages and TT for this natural Climber.

Red Bull should start allowing him to race for himself after he will prove again that he has surpassed Roglic.

 

[Netserk]

he would be the race leader if he had timed his sprint

Isn't that the case here and in the Giro?

 

[Salvarani]

Free Giulio

In the Giro he surely wasnt allowed to ride for himself until Roglic was out of the race. Today he didnt cooperate with Del Toro, while there was an opportunity to gain time on everyone else.

Not pulling was the correct decision.

I mean that this season he’s a leader in the Giro. And about today, I think he was happy he could follow Del Toro. Was already dropped once, don’t think he had more in him

 

[Netserk]

Not pulling was the correct decision.

especially if he could have converted that to beating del toro in the sprint

 

[Salvarani]

Hope Giulio can sign for another team where he will be leader.

 

[MLKarlos]

he starts to get really interesting! Strong climber anyway, improved TT (not great, but improved) and smart.

With some luck a Guro podium candidate?

 

[MLKarlos]

Hope Giulio can sign for another team where he will be leader.

Why should he do this?

 

[Salvarani]

Why should he do this?

So he will be leader. I mentioned that.

Too many leaders on Redbull now.

Ah yes this season Giro he will be the leader. Looking forward to that and hoping he can compete with Almeida. Vingegaard will prove too much for now I guess.

Too many leaders on Redbull now.

He is like 21 or so? And will be Giro co leader. What else do you want with that age?!

 

[AlfaLum]

With Evenepoel failing in the high mountains and Roglic being a washed grandpa Pellizzari should just be the main focus point for Red Bull.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Del Toro prisoners screaming in this thread free Giulio is a bit much. But OK, free Giulio!

And Seixas is 19.

Giulio has already proven himself last year in GTs.

He has not been able to lead a stage-race so far this season though, because of the situation at Redbull. They are too stacked.

 

[Extinction]

Giulio is already a projected rider. The legs will do the talking.

Del Toro is in much worse position ATM, at UAE, then Giulio is at RBH.

No, he is not.

Del Toro is leading races for his team, as Giulio should to but he is not getting the opportunity.
