That did work for Thomas de Gendt sometimes

My dream is coming true! I can't wait to see him sprint out of the neutral zone while everyone looks baffled.

In all honesty, early in his career he was a really good tactician, the guy roughed up and beat Johannes Thingnes Bø on a final lap in Antholz several years back, and he was good at altitude.

Then Simon Fourcade got hold of him and taught him the true secret of race breakdown: to expend all your energy in the first 40% of any given competition.

I'm getting spoiled with these latest transfer news, although it wouldn't really feel right if Pozzovivo ends up finishing his career at a different Italian team than Bardiani. However, it did bug me that he didn't do TOTA in 2024 so I'm all for him getting to ride it one last time. In fact I wouldn't mind it if he got a free wild card every single year.

I saw a rumour a couple of months ago that he was joining the Ukrainian Army

It seems more likely that he's trying to avoid being drafted. He’s with Solution Tech NIPPO Rali and trains with them, but they can’t register him for some 'bureaucratic' reason - https://www.tuttobiciweb.it/article/1774798345
