Giro d'Italia | Miguel Ángel López returns to Giro d'Italia in seek of success for Astana Qazaqstan Team
CyclingMonday, 02 May 2022 at 16:00
Miguel Ángel López hasn't taken to the start of the Giro d'Italia since 2019, in an edition in which he was hampered by bad luck. Now back at Astana Qazaqstan Team, he will return to the Giro with high ambitions for the overall classification and a strong team to back him up.
The Colombian has been taking a calm approach to the race, as was seen in the Tour of the Alps where he dropped out of the battle for the GC, to comeback and win a stage two days later in which he distanced the race's top climbers. López has raced the Giro three times, and will count with a lot of support in the mountains where the race is set to be decided.
Vincenzo Nibali will be starting his 11th Giro and is just about one of the most experienced riders to back-up the Colombian. Together with David de la Cruz they should be the most reliable support in the mountains, however the team has not held back on domestiques who can do this kind of job.
Whilst Fabio Felline will be given the role of road captain, López will also count on the likes of Joe Dombrowski, Vadim Pronskiy and Harold Tejada who complete the Kazakh squad.
Astana Qazaqstan Team for Giro d'Italia: Miguel Ángel López, Vincenzo Nibali, David de la Cruz, Joe Dombrowski, Vadim Pronskiy, Fabio Felline, Harold Tejada and Valerio Conti.

- 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
