Giro d'Italia list confirmed as EF reveal montain-oriented team, Hugh Carthy aims for final podium
Cycling
EF Education-EasyPost have, as is always the case, waited to be the final team to reveal their lineup for a Grand Tour. They are aiming for the overall classification and stage wins at this Giro d'Italia, featuring riders such as Hugh Carthy and Magnus Cort Nielsen.
Carthy provides good chances for the team to succeed in the chase of a good overall classification result. He has had a consistent spring and been riding at a high level, recently finishing second only behind Tao Geoghegan Hart at the Tour of the Alps - who will be a rival in the fight for the podium. He's joined by Jefferson Cepeda who was fourth in the Alps alongside the Briton, and Rigoberto Urán who finished in the Top10 and won a stage at last year's Vuelta a Espana, and has twice finished runner-up at the Corsa Rosa.

The team is bound to chase stages with the latter two, but also with two quality riders in Ben Healy - who has had a breakthrough spring finishing second at Amstel Gold Race and fourth at Liège-Bastogne-Liège - and Magnus Cort Nielsen who should be present in the sprints, mainly those in the hilly days but also some breakaways where he could complete the list of wins in every Grand Tour.
It's a strong team that's completed by Stefan De Bod and Jonathan Caicedo, two more climbers who may also have ambitions in the breakaways.
EF Education-EasyPost for Giro d'Italia:
Rigoberto Urán, Magnus Cort Nielsen, Ben Healy, Hugh Carthy, Stefan De Bod, Jonathan Caicedo, Jefferson Alexander Cepeda and Alberto Bettiol.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
