Giro d'Italia | Hugh Carthy and Magnus Cort Nielsen on the hunt for success with EF Education-EasyPost
CyclingWednesday, 04 May 2022 at 14:30
EF Education-EasyPost will be at the Giro d'Italia with a very diverse team who will be focusing on stage wins with different cards, however with the option of fighting for the overall classification with Hugh Carthy who will be hoping to return to his best level.
After finishing eighth last year, Hugh Carthy will be hoping to improve on that career-best result at the Giro d'Italia this year. With the long, steep ascents, the Briton will have a suitable route to his capacity however he hasn't shown his best form yet this season. A possible reason for concern, but at the same time it is possible that he has bid his timing very well towards the Corsa Rosa, having finished ninth at the recent Tour of the Alps in which he's faced several of his rivals who he will be riding with in the mountains.
With Chaves absent from the team, he becomes the team's sole GC leader. The team will likely be eyeing stage wins from breakaways in the mountains, and has a contingent of climbers who can both support him, and look out for their individual goals at the same time: Jonathan Caicedo, Diego Camargo, Merhawi Kudus and Simon Carr.
Magnus Cort Nielsen will be the other team leader, eyeing the sprints but also the hilly stages in which he has good chances of succeeding. He's coming back from injury which he sustained at Tirreno-Adriatico, and said that he's eyeing the final week in for his best form. Owain Doull and Julius van den Berg will both support the Dane in the sprints and protect Carthy in the flat stages in order to remain in contention for the overall.
EF Education-EasyPost for Giro d'Italia: Hugh Carthy, Magnus Cort Nielsen, Jonathan Caicedo, Diego Camargo, Julius van den Berg, Merhawi Kudus, Owain Doull and Simon Carr.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- 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
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- 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
