With four months remaining to the start of the Giro d'Italia, the race organizers have revealed the four teams that have received the invitation to race the Corsa Rosa.
Both teams who had automatic wildcard invitations, Lotto Soudal and TotalEnergies, have opted to forego the Italian Grand Tour. Instead, the race has been able to invite all of it's national teams. Israel - Premier Tech were the only non-Italian team invited, who seek success in all Grand Tours and have equally been rewarded with a presence at the Tour de France.
Green Project-Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè, EOLO - Kometa and Team Corratec have been invited. Following the abandon of Androni from it's ProTeam project, all Italian teams have received the all-important invitation. The latter being perhaps a surprise.
Team Corratec is a team that have turned ProTeam only this season, and there is talks that Nairo Quintana could be joining it. The Giro starts on the 6th of May this year and will see a route that will please all types of riders, with a specially hard final week this year.

- A 50+ million budget team not even in the top 5 GC of any GTs is not success especially when they have won a lot of GTs in the past their recruitment also tends to be for helper riders like Tobias Foss which is a waste of money when they donot have a leader to win GCabstractengineer19-07-2025

- That doesn’t work the same way for everyone, a small team with no expectations and nothing to lose obviously has more chance of looking successful than a big team with history going downhill.Mistermaumau19-07-2025
- There are lots of ways to reap the rewards of a GT without being on the podium. EF has made a successful venture of doing this. Their sponsors receive a lot of value without having to spend very much in relation to UAE or Visma. I understand what your saying though, if they rebuild in the next few years with a quality rider like a Lipowitz, they could do something. Tadej has about four to five more years before he is done, in fact his contract ends in 2030 and he has said that might be it for him. Jonas is two years older than Tadej so I give him about the same time if not less.awp19-07-2025
- The spectator though is watching cyclists up a mountain in a bike race, and isn’t impeaching in the slightest on the cyclists’ safety. Is it really necessary for the car to be coming up on the opposite side of the road so close to the action? I know spectators can be a nuisance, to put it mildly, but after making the effort to support and enjoy the race up these mountains, here I think the driver seems more the one being inconsiderate and reckless.AndrewK19-07-2025
