Filippo Ganna's coach reveals 3 major goals of the Italian for 2025: "He wants to go back there to win"
Cycling
The 2025 season is already a reality. All the teams are ready to give their all in the upcoming ten months of fierce cycling battles. For INEOS Grenadiers in particular, this campaign will have to be a positive one, especially after the disappointing year they had in 2024.
To do so, the British team will need to once again see the best versions of its stars. One of those whose performances were only a shadow of past was Filippo Ganna. Like INEOS, the Italian was not at his best last year either. In fact, it was even rumored that he might leave the team in the off-season.
But nothing could be further from the truth. Ganna is ready to return to stardom in 2025. In fact, his coach Dario Cioni has confirmed 3 very ambitious goals of the Italian in words for bici.PRO: Milano-Sanremo, Paris-Roubaix and Tour de France.
Freedom without Olympic Games
"Because of the Olympics, we didn't do Paris-Roubaix in 2024, because Filippo wanted to do well at the Giro. We postponed it last year and that's why we included it as a big event for next year," explains Ganna's coach, who won the silver medal in the Olympic time trial. Only an unstoppable Remco Evenepoel could beat him.
"Just like Milano-Sanremo, and also the Tour de France, which didn't enter his plans last year because it coincided with the Olympic program. Filippo is looking forward to returning to France after his first experience," he adds.
"In 2022 it didn't go as I expected, so I think he wants to try his luck in a well-prepared Tour. The same for Roubaix. He had prepared it a bit better two years ago, now the idea is to come back because of the northern classics it's the one we think he does best. But first there is the Milano-Sanremo: he wants to go back there to win," says Dario Cioni.

- What a dumb comment! Of course Wout would be more popular in Belgium...he's from Belgium ! Sheesh!frieders305-01-2025
- Depends, the guy is known for it, some let him others clearly tell him where to stick it. You didn’t watch it did you? I’m sure in some cases he kind of asks and why should a rider mind someone riding behind during normal rides, it’s kind of the norm in this sport. On the other hand, if you’re busy concentrating on a specific training session, obviously anything is going to distract you and the guy has to respect that. Yes, he’s kind of tacky but no worse than any paparazzi, and he has made this his “profession” it seems. Like you say, no class at all.Mistermaumau04-01-2025
- And haven’t we kind of forgotten, a certain WVA, no-one is analysing what he could add to the sauce.Mistermaumau04-01-2025
- Yes, you have to respect him for a few things and call him out on others. He obviously didn’t see the need to progress over the years from his comment on “normal” men, had he said an old-fashioned 70y old it would have gone down positively.Mistermaumau04-01-2025
- Everyone on Armstrong's team doped. It was a prerequisite for joining and getting the big money.Sweep04-01-2025

- He telling the truth, he is outspoken, like him or not he's brought a lot to cycling.awp04-01-2025
- Nice!awp04-01-2025
- He could potentially win the Giro again, although if Jonas races the Giro he would have to have sickness or a bad crash to let Primoz pass him, but the Tour is out of his sights, he missed his chance in 2020. Too much top competition at the Tour, but he could possibly score a top five but more realistically a top ten at his age.awp04-01-2025
- a hello and selfie is fine, but 19 mins of filmed stalking, seriously?? absolutely ridiculous. no class. training is part of their jobs, leave them be. stop turning them against the fans. effing idiot.BalberdoBonkador04-01-2025
