Teams & Riders Giulio Pellizzari: Super Sub

[Unchained]

Del Toro still remembers Giulio chasing him around at the '23 Avenier! Which he won by a minute..

 

[Red Rick]

Think Pellizzari is still being slept on a lot

He is probably among the most best young riders coming up right now. His climbing is excellent.

He will definitely be a big contender in the future. Especially, for stage-races and GTs. His time trial seems to be improving as well.

Definitely a future giro winner if he stays healthy

I would not be surprised if he ultimately ends up a better GT rider than Del Toro.

Yes, he seems to have the upper hand in the hard mountain stages.
I have to admit, I underrated him a couple of months ago, but he proves me wrong so far.

You are talking about Pellizarri, right? The same dude who collapsed on Bola del Mundo and Finestre last year?
Right?

Yes, he collapsed , but he also had impressive performances. Whereas Del Toro was noticeably worse in the hardest mountain stages.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Free Giulio.

 

[Didinho]

He’s gonna be up there for the Giro win already this year I think. Was 6th in both GT’s, looks like he took another step this year. He’s my first pick behind Vingo and you never know how the race unfolds.

 

[acm]

He's definitely a candidate for Giro podium. Jonas, Almeida and Pellizzari. Should be fun!

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Decent chance he gets a big 7 stage race this year before his older, much more famous, much higher comped teammate/team leader...

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

I'm torn between thinking this could be his Vingegaard in 2021/2022 year or if it's a bit of him having started his season a month before Roglic, so looking sharper. Del Toro has been riding a while, though, and Pellizzari looks good against him.

Oh yeah forgot about Almeida. Those 3 for the podium spots indeed.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pelliazzurra.

 

[AlfaLum]

He can fight with Almeida for second place

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Early days, but it would be pretty funny if, after putting lots of energy into and splurging boatloads of cash on signing Roglic and Evenepoel, Pellizzari winds up being the most successful GT rider in Bora's history.

(obviously not counting results for other teams, it's hard to see him matching Roglic' palmares)

I would not be that surprised.

 

[Keldergoat]

What a lovely, complete rider is he becoming. Truly a joy to watch his development.

 

[Red Rick]

I only just got to watch the summary.

This isn't the kind of sprint you can say much about riders' intrinsic speed

Shades of Nibali beating Valverde in Cividale during the 2016 Giro.
But I'll take anything.honestly.
