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.

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.

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.

GC + 2 stage wins at the Tour of the Alpes, definitely a strong podium contender for the Giro.

The last Trentino winner to also podium the Giro was Yates in 2021; the last winner to also win the Giro was Nibali in 2013.

That said, I think in some ways winning the GC here is more important than a podium at the Giro. He's been a consistent piazzato for a year or two, so it's good for him to get used to winning and how to lead high level races from the front, not just aiming for podium or top five positions .

Other than Vingegaard, who is climbing better in sight of the Giro that's going? The kid looks in really good form AND he said he's not in top shape yet. Like to see him on the Giro podium.

Is there any chance he'll go to the Tour after the Giro?

Although the most logical thing would be for him to do the Vuelta if he does a second GT , but there's a risk he'll be stronger than Roglic.

He Said that? I also think that climbing wise he is at least top 3

He said that during Tirreno-Adriatico because he had some physical problems, but now he doesn't seem to have them. If Almeida doesn't return to his usual form, Pellizzari would be second.
