Giro d'Italia | Buchmann, Kelderman and Hindley co-lead BORA-hansgrohe's GC aspirations
CyclingSaturday, 30 April 2022 at 16:00
BORA-hansgrohe have been quite successful in the hilly and mountainous races so far this year with the duo of Aleksandr Vlasov and Sergio Higuita, however for the Giro d'Italia the team has announced a lineup with different faces who have been flying under the radar before the start in Budapest.
The German team will have a three-pronged approach towards the general classification which is the clear target for this race. Emanuel Buchmann returns to the race in hopes of revenge after last year's bad luck which saw him crash out on the 15th stage. The German climber will be ambitioning a high result, together with Wilco Kelderman who finished third here two years ago, and fifth at the Tour de France last year. Together with them, it is expected that Jai Hindley will be riding well in the mountains after returning to his level this year - having finished fifth at Tirreno-Adriatico. The long and high mountains of the third week will suit the Australian. The team will be hoping that all three riders are able to perform at their best level and take advantage of their collective strength.
Lennard Kämna is expected to be targeting stage wins in the mountains, after specifically chasing that goal early in the season which has earned him wins at the Vuelta a Andalucia and the Tour of the Alps. He should also support the team's GC ambitions. Giovanni Aleotti and Ben Zwiehoff will be providing further support in the hard terrain, as the team attempted to round up a full team of riders who are used to the task at hand. With no sprinters on board, Cesare Benedetti rounds up the team and should be road captain, in his seventh presence at the race.
BORA - hansgrohe for Giro d'Italia: Emanuel Buchmann, Giovanni Aleotti, Cesare Benedetti, Patrick Gamper, Jai Hindley, Lennard Kämna, Wilco Kelderman and Ben Zwiehoff.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
