Einer Rubio extra motivated to thrive at 2024 Giro d'Italia: "Italy has become my second home"
CyclingFriday, 03 May 2024 at 14:00
Einer Rubio had a top-level Giro d'Italia 2023, taking a stage win in Crans Montana, one of the hardest of the race in last year's edition, and finishing eleventh overall, 10:43 behind winner Primoz Roglic. He looks to improve on that this year.
This year, Movistar Team's Colombian climber is hoping for another top-notch performance at the Corsa Rosa. At a pre-race press conference with teammates and compatriots Nairo Quintana and Fernando Gaviria, the 26-year-old climber answered several questions: "The Giro is very hard, we will have to be very attentive but it is also very good because we will know in what condition we are in and also the rivals how they are."
Einer is confident in the team that Movistar has taken to the Giro d'Italia, he sees potential to achieve something moderately important:
"We come here with a job well done since the beginning of the season, with a very promising team. I think if we look at the race strategically then we can do very well. Then, the Giro brings a lot of surprises, we will try to take advantage of them."
Finally, he spoke about Italy, where he has lived since he was 19 years old. His arrival at Vejus-TMF-Cicli Magnum2 in 2017 made him discover the country and he has been living there ever since:
"Italy has become my second home and I've been welcomed here at 19 years old. We'll already go down in the first week to the side where I live, the stage that finishes in Bocca della Selva (stage 10, ed.) is where I train a lot so we'll see how the race is placed, but yes, I'd like to be able to enjoy it."

- So he's got an attitude of egocentric proportions, typical Yorkshire guy then...
leedorney15-11-2024 - Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Yes, I’d say they’ve done their job in CX.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024
- By definition an analogy is always GERMANE, tganjs for pointing out the obvious and revealing you don’t understand its purpose.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
