Rider schedules and targets for 2022

[tobydawq]

No, I totally forgot that. I see his participation there was as memorable as the rest of his spring.

In any case, thank you for the correction/reminder.

(I had to double-check too).

 

[Nirvana]

I think its Coppi Bartali instead of Catalunya and as you say chances for more points in a weaker field, than Catalunya that will probably have a better field.

He needs a race between T-A and Ronde/the Ardennes, so it is a win-win situation hopefully.

Of course not doing Itzulia, with that starting right after Ronde.

I mean in his usual schedule it replaces Itzulia as final pre classics stage race.

 

[Samamba]

Ewan focussing on MSR before doing 2 GTs again + Looks like he's doing 2 Flemish classics

We already have Ewan, Groenewegen and S.Bennett at the Saudi tour - It should give us an idea of the pecking order.

So to have Bora's schedule also here:
Giro: Kelderman, Buchmann, Hindley, Kämna
Tour: Vlasov, Bennett, Schachmann, Politt, Großschartner, Konrad
Vuelta: Higuita

Just looked up the teams of the favourites for this years giro.

The depth of Bora´s giro team is pretty strong in comparison to the other teams. Ineos also looks strong, although they will also go with one (or two) spaces for a sprinter. Almeida´s team for now looks a bit weaker..

Ineos Grenadiers	Bora-Hansgrohe	UAE Team Emirates	Jumbo Visma
Carapaz	Kelderman	Almeida	Dumoulin
Geoghegan Hart	Buchmann	Formolo	Foss
Porte	Hindley	Costa	Harper
Viviani	Kämna	Ulissi	Oomen
Pidcock	Fabbro	Covi	Bouwman
Swift	Aleotti		Eenkhoorn
			Affini
			van Emden

UAE doesn't look that weak to me. Although INEOS looks stronger, that's true.

Btw...you forgot Harper for Jumbo Visma

 

[RedheadDane]

Btw...you forgot Harper for Jumbo Visma

Is Eenkhoorn also "not-Harper"?

 

[Earns1985]

Harper is too important to be listed only once..

The spring schedule for Higuita is out:

NC
Strade Bianche
Volta Catalunya
País Vasco
Ardennes Classics

The vuelta as big target later..

Sergio Higuita definió su calendario 2022: carreras en las que estará con el Bora

El ciclista paisa no estará en el Tour de Francia.

I think in Catalunya and Pais Vasco we will get already an idea where he stands after two weaker years..

 

[Earns1985]

Vlasov schedule:

Valencia
UAE Tour
Paris-Nice
Gran Premio Miguel Indurain
Pais Vasco
Fleche Wallone
Liege-Bastogne-Liege

Alexandr Vlasov: Ardennen & Tour im Programm für 2022, nächster Entwicklungs-Schritt im Plan - cyclingmagazine

Das Team Bora-hansgrohe konzentriert sich beim Giro d’Italia voll auf die Gesamtwertung, schickt Emanuel Buchmann, Jai Hindley und Wilco Keldermann zur Italien-Rundfahrt. Für die Tour de France 2022 plant man mehrgleisig. Eine Sprintgruppe um Sam Bennett, dazu die Etappenjäger Maximilian...

40+ race days before the Tour, if I did my homework.
Bit of a heavy schedule for someone with the Tour as his main target of the season.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

40+ race days before the Tour, if I did my homework.
Bit of a heavy schedule for someone with the Tour as his main target of the season.

But if he rides them 2020 Giro style he only has to do between 9 and 18 before the start of the Tour.

 

[Earns1985]

So the cycling season 2022 is closed to the beginning and I just looked a bit to find out which World Tour teams still didn´t announce the targets of their top riders for the next season.

I´m missing

• EF Education - Easy Post (Uran, Padun, Carthy, Powless, Cort, Bettiol)
• Movistar (Mas, Aranburu, Sosa)
• Team DSM (Bardet)
• Ineos (only part of the giro team announced yet)

Did you hear something about them?

EF is normally always late, but will be interesting. Well Movistar is a bit of a low brainer (I think Mas will go another time for Tour and Vuelta). Bardet would make sense to go for the giro and vuelta once again, if the sponsor doesn´t want to see him at the tour. Because Ineos giro team is already announced, one can imagine also tour and vuelta..

 

[Big Doopie]

One is not like the others.

Bernal?

 

[tobydawq]

Bernal?

He has a chance of overcoming his deficits from the TT in the cross-winds.

Ef should send guys like Cort and Bettiol to the Tour after the spring classics, that would be the logical move, same with Valgren.
I'd send Eiking also to the Tour with Uran as a 2nd option, during the last 2 years Uran has suddenly started to fade at the end of a gt, so having a backup option wouldn't be a bad idea.
From what I've heard Kudus will ride the Giro, but that'S the only thing I've heared about the Giro team. I'd go with Carthy for Giro-Vuelta once again and I'd give Padun a free role at the Giro, the other option would be to have him focus on one week stage races, a big win in the Dauphine or the Tour de Suisse could create lots of buzz around the team.

 

[Escarabajo]

Bernal?

So Almeida is better than Bernal?

 

[Escarabajo]

Nairo and Bernal to kick it off in Tour de la Provence.

[Skijumper Roglic fan]

Next Sunday, it‘s „Gran Premio Valencia“ (1.2) in Spain (former Luis Puig). Startlist includes Bouhanni, Visconti and Bonifazio - so first race of the season for these three.
