Not convinced this is a good thing.

It didn't work out today, but brave effort.

 

[Red Rick]

I think he was a lot better than yesterday, but this sort of climb just doesn't suit him, and random's had to chase him for no reason

 

[AlfaLum]

Apparently he is currently struggling with some tendon injuries. But he has been pushing through that because of riding on his home roads.

Hopefully that does not cause further injuries in preparation of the Giro. But I would say to milano-torino and Milano-San Remo are out of the question.

Yeah most important is the Giro prep

 

[Tim Cahill]

He was 3rd in a race that really doesn’t suit him and seems to have improved his tt. I think he can podium this Giro if his injury isn’t bad.

Pelizzari has been impressive throughout this year to me and clearly taken a step which is nice wouldnt surprise me either if he follow up and podium the giro. He just seem stronger this year which ive said before.

Only outlier so far been strade to me vs expectations but im not sure if something happened to him or not there but also jaen which could explain his strade. Anyway good italian talent hopefully only the beginning.

Good performance at TA and surely a confidence boost for Giro.

He looks to be right on schedule

It depends. If tendon issue will heal fast then yes, otherwise it might make sense to skip the Giro and to heal properly.

 

[armchairclimber]

I would hope that he skips Milan Torino and Sanremo , both of which he is down to ride. Tendons take time to sort out usually.
Having said that, if he rides those two races with any commitment, it would indicate that the tendon issue wasn't too bad.
