Giro d'Italia startlist complete! EF Education-EasyPost reveal '8' without Hugh Carthy; Esteban Chaves and Simon Carr as stage hunters

Eight climbers and puncheur form EF Education-EasyPost's lineup for the Giro d'Italia. No GC ambitions and no sprinters from the last team to confirm their riders for the first Grand Tour of the season.
It is in fact a lineup different from all others. The American comes into the race without a sprinter to fight for a result on the flat days, but also without a rider to chase the overall classifications. On the mountainous days the team will not count on Hugh Carthy who was initially expected to be their leader but has not shown good form recently. Colombian duo Esteban Chaves and Jefferson Alexander Cepeda will focus specifically on the high mountain days.
Simon Carr will likely be the team's best option for a stage win, having won the Trofeo Calvià in January, but more recently a stage and KOM classification at the Tour of the Alps. The lineup counts with Michael Valgren who races his first Grand Tour since the 2021 Tour de France due to career-threatening injuries suffered almost two years ago. The team is completed by four riders who can chase wins on the hilly days of the race in Andrea Piccolo, Stefan De Bod, Mikkel Honoré and Georg Steinhauser.

- 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. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
