Maybe taking some more experienced gregario like Lulu or Mohoric to giro instead of Williams/Milan to do a giro tour double and provide more support to colbrelli and the gc guysThat sounds like a good plan to me.

Well I think it´s a bit of a dilemma for him. He has to say that he will ride and target the tour, otherwise Arkea´s wildcard for the tour gets in danger.So he will spend January to April in Europe with the team.
But he said already 100% of his focus for 2022 is on TDF gc. Strange that he now wants a giro wildcard.
Whatever happens, I wish Nairoman and his team all the best and a strong season. He deserve it.
If what Diego Rosa has said is true the team did them dirty last year, they told them that riding the Giro was a sure thing, so he and a few others prepared for it only for them not to get a wildcard.Quintana will ride
Mallorca Challenge
Tour de la Provence
Paris-Nice
Catalunya

He is Italian. Giro stage 1 suits him, he can wear the maglia.I am surprised to see Colbrelli going to the Giro instead of the Tour as he could be one of the main contenders for the green jersey there.
I feel like with healthy sprinters he doesn't stand a chance.However, top 5 is reasonable.I am surprised to see Colbrelli going to the Giro instead of the Tour as he could be one of the main contenders for the green jersey there.
The route is (once again) slightly too hard for him, IMO. Though it depends on who else is racing. If Carapaz shows up it will be tough...Copeland confirms Simon Yates will ride the Giro to win it in 2022.
If Carapaz races its Almeida vs Carapaz. I think it will be hard for a Simon Yates to contendThe route is (once again) slightly too hard for him, IMO. Though it depends on who else is racing. If Carapaz shows up it will be tough...
Copeland confirms Simon Yates will ride the Giro to win it in 2022. He might also do the Tour, depending on his shape, but only as a stage hunter.
Copeland also says they will test Sobrero in one week stage races.

Yeah with the very low ITT distance this years Giro route is his best chance to resurrect himself as a podium contender in Grand Tours.Well I think it´s a bit of a dilemma for him. He has to say that he will ride and target the tour, otherwise Arkea´s wildcard for the tour gets in danger.
Deep inside I think that Quintana would like to target the giro more than the tour, because there he will have a better chance for a good placing..
Colbrelli has to be favorite for points classification.O'Connor will target the tour next year..
Ben O'Connor returns to target Tour de France in 2022
Giro d'Italia unfinished business can wait as this year's success leaves only one choicewww.cyclingnews.com

Astana:
Lutsenko to the Tour, MAL to the Giro, De la Cruz to the Giro as a domestique and to the Vuelta as a protected gc rider. No news about Nibali, but he says he already has a pretty good idea.

Flanders yes, Roubaix unlikelyIt's not a given Nibali will ride the Giro. He will target the spring Classics: LBL and possibly Flanders / Roubaix.
Wasn't there a report that he might race all 5 monuments in 2022?Flanders yes, Roubaix unlikely
Probably Sanremo - RVV - LBL
Yes but he now said it's unlikely he does Roubaix because it's so close to Liege, where he wants to be in best shape possible. If he is super light for Liege he can't stand a chance in RoubaixWasn't there a report that he might race all 5 monuments in 2022?
Ah alright, although I doubt he would stand a chance in Roubaix regardless.Yes but he now said it's unlikely he does Roubaix because it's so close to Liege, where he wants to be in best shape possible. If he is super light for Liege he can't stand a chance in Roubaix
Regardless of that it would still be cool as **** to see him on the start line of RoubaixAh alright, although I doubt he would stand a chance in Roubaix regardless.
