James Piccoli highest UCI points in 2019 for non-World Tour rider

[piccolig]

Check out what a year James Piccoli has had in 2019 on ProCyclingStats. Not only the # Continental rider in the world , and 145th or so on the entire planet, he has accomplished this on a tiny race calander.

Who will he sign with for 2020 ?

 

[Anderis]

He will go to Ineos and win TdF 2020 with Bernal as his superdomestique.

Apparently he's into making his own carbon parts, sounds like an interesting guy. You wouldn't find many pros who'd be willing to try some of the stuff mentioned in the article.

He had an impressive year, but I do not think that he is the number 1 Conti rider on any ranking.

Dyball?

 

[F_Cance]

Exactly. The first Conti rider on the UCI ranking. 67th.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

And off to Israel Cycling Academy. Well deserved.

 

[Lequack]

Wow I think that's a great signing for him.

First year on the WT and they'll be hungry for results. Could be a lot of pressure but hopefully gives him chance to perform.

James was a late starter in the sport at 22, and had to climb a huge mountain of adversity because of it. He has had to work twice as hard and get three times the results for equal recognition. The result is that you have an athlete whose mental toughness is second to none in North America.
You will be wise to follow this rider, much much more to come from this future star

 

[Anderis]

A late starter from Canada who gets into WT in his late 20-ties after impressing at Tour of Utah with a stage win and 2nd overall, only beaten by a rider from his future team. Where did I hear that before...

That will be a 800m runner
