Giro d'Italia | Giacomo Nizzolo leads Israel - Premier Tech eyeing the sprints
CyclingTuesday, 03 May 2022 at 16:00
Israel - Premier Tech will specifically be aiming at the sprint stages during the upcoming Giro d'Italia, as they reveal a lineup full of firepower and designed around the goals of Giacomo Nizzolo.
“The Giro d’Italia is one of my biggest goals of the year and I think as a team, we are super motivated and ready to do our best,” Nizzolo said in a press release. The team admits the points classification is also a goal, with a very big focus around the support of Nizzolo for the sprints. The Italian has had a strong start to the season despite not having won, with several strong results in a sprint. He's won his first stage here last year, but has won the points classification already in 2015 and 2016.
Team DS Oscar Guerrero has added: "We have a very sprint-focused roster with Giacomo as our leader so it’s clear that the team’s primary objective is stage wins. We have a very strong lead out train with Rick Zabel, Alex Dowsett, and Matthias Brändle, as well as Jenthe Biermans, who we have added to give the train extra support."
Outside of the team's sprinting ambitions, the goal will purely revolve around stage wins at the time being. Alessandro de Marchi has lead the race last year, but despite his breakaway expertize, he's yet to win at the Corsa Rosa. Alex Cataford and Reto Hollenstein complete the Israeli team's lineup.
Israel - Premier Tech for Giro d'Italia: Giacomo Nizzolo, Jenthe Biermans, Matthias Brändle, Alex Cataford, Alessandro de Marchi, Alex Dowsett, Reto Hollenstein and Rick Zabel.

- 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
