Giro d'Italia | AG2R Citroën Team target stages, eye GC with Félix Gall
CyclingTuesday, 03 May 2022 at 14:30
AG2R Citroën Team have announced yesterday their lineup for the Giro d'Italia and the team's ambitions revolve around stage hunting throughout different terrains - mainly aiming at the hilly stages.
The team is being led by Félix Gall. Despite this being his Grand Tour debut, the Austrian is one of the team's most promising talents and has finished 12th at Itzulia Basque Country and sixth at the Tour of the Alps. Team DS Laurent Biondi has said: "Félix has been the happy surprise for the start to the season for the AG2R CITROËN TEAM. He has shown that he had great potential in stage races thanks to his good recovery qualities. He will be our sole leader for the general classification. However, this is his first Grand Tour and therefore his first experience of managing a three-week race. He will aim for a top 15 in the general classification and depending on the opportunities, a stage victory."
Besides Gall, the rest of the team should be eyeing stage wins, except for Lawrence Naesen who comes in in a protective role for Gall. Andrea Vendrame will be targeting the sprints, whilst being a wildcard for hilly stages - having won one last season. Nans Peters, Lilian Calmejane, Nicolas Prodhomme, Jaakko Hänninnen and Mikaël Cherel conclude the team, a big set of climbers and puncheurs who will be likely saving their legs for breakaways in search of wins throughout the three weeks.
AG2R Citroën Team for Giro d'Italia: Félix Gall, Andrea Vendrame, Nans Peters, Lilian Calmejane, Mikaël Cherel, Nicolas Prodhomme, Jaakko Hänninen and Lawrence Naesen.

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
