Gino Mäder recently struggled at the Tour de Romandie and a cause may have been discovered. The Swiss rider has tested positive for Covid-19 and is being forced to miss out on the Giro d'Italia. Bahrain - Victorious have replaced him with Yukiya Arashiro.
Mäder rode to fifth at Paris-Nice and although he was not set out to lead the team in it's GC goal, he was likely to play a key supporting role as well as chase stage wins in the mountains. This comes as a meaningful hit for the team. Arashiro will be protecting the likes of Damiano Caruso and Jack Haig more in the flat terrain as he tackles his 16th Grand Tour.

UltimateOpportunist23-12-2024 - If you look at the major races they’ve both been in, van der Poel had the early edge as lately Pogacar has had the advantage. It’s all on procyclingstats.RidesHills23-12-2024
- I wouldn’t assume Tadej can’t win at cross. He did a cross race, not a World Cup, a few years ago and crushed the field. It was a minor race. But he can win anywhere.mij23-12-2024
