EF Education-EasyPost have had a positive performance at the Giro d'Italia, taking stage wins with Ben Healy and Magnus Cort Nielsen, however their GC hope Hugh Carthy is heading home after suffering from stomach issues.
The Briton will not start stage 19, with the finale in Rome almost in sight. After finishing on the podium of the Tour of the Alps and having a consistent spring Carthy entered the Giro with high hopes, but they weren't materializing into a strong result.
Poor performances in the time-trials and conservative racing in the mountains saw Carthy never able to break into the Top10, despite having been the fastest rider up the climb to Crans-Montana on stage 13. He hoped to make the difference on the uphill but it was not enough to be in the battle for the top spots, yesterday he struggled on the final kilometers and fell from 11th to 14th in the overall classification.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025

Hugh Carthy won’t be able to start today’s stage of the Giro d’Italia. He has been struggling with stomach issues for a few days so he’ll return home to rest and recover. Great effort, Hugh.
