Domenico Pozzovivo in talks over a 2024 contract with Corratec - Selle Italia

In mid-October, there still seemed a good chance that Domenico Pozzovivo would end his career, but now there is hope again for the 40-year-old climber. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian, whose contract with Israel-Premier Tech is expiring, is currently in talks with Corratec - Selle Italia.
"There are not many conversations," Pozzovivo told WielerFlits prior to the Giro del Veneto. "Honestly? I still have the legs and the motivation to continue, but if that doesn't work, I'll stop." He then indicated that he wanted to make a choice before the end of October, because he had already had to wait a very long time to sign a contract for the 2023 season.
Now the Italian, who celebrates his 41st birthday at the end of this month, is said to be talking to Corratec - Selle Italia about his future. Corratec - Selle Italia is a relatively new ProTeam, but was at the start of the Giro d'Italia last year. It is precisely that race that Pozzovivo wants to contest again. He has already participated his home Grand tour seventeen times, but with an eighteenth participation he would equal Wladimiro Panizza's record.
Corratec - Selle Italia, Pozzovivo's possible new employer, previously managed to strengthen itself with sprinters Niccolò Bonifazio, Kristian Sbaragli and Jakub Mareczko, all-rounder Mark Stewart and climber Alessandro Monaco. The team currently has fifteen riders under contract for 2024.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
