"I can hunt for the pink jersey" - Antonio Tiberi receives award in Italy after superb 2024
CyclingSunday, 01 December 2024 at 09:00
Antonio Tiberi had the best season of his career so far in
2024, as the 23 year old won the young riders classification at his home race,
the Giro d’Italia. And things just got even better for the Italian, who has
been recognised with an award for ‘courage and progress,’ at the Friends of Cycling
Group in the monastery of the Carmelites, in Florence, Italy.
The Bahrain-Victorious rider was also looking strong and
leading the young riders classification at the Vuelta a Espana in August,
before illness saw him abandon the race. Regardless, it was a very impressive
second year with Bahrain – Victorious, and there should be plenty more to
come from Tiberi.
Reacting to his successful 2024 season, a delighted Tiberi
said, "I am happy with my 2024 season. Especially with the fifth place in
the Giro d'Italia and the first place in the young rider classification.
“Next year I will try to improve my performances in all
races. I also want to prepare well for the Giro d'Italia, so that I can hunt
for the pink jersey in good shape. Next year will be an important season for
me".
Will we see Tiberi take on the Tour de France in 2025?
Perhaps not yet, but when he does make his debut in France it will be great news for cycling fans, as he is certainly one
to watch for the future.

- Gotta? He doesn't come across very well. Great cyclist in his day but not exactly an interesting person or doer of great things since. He just bleats on about his self-esteem. Perfect for the woke age.Renz02-12-2024

- well, the “body of a champion” is the one that produces the best watts/kg. jonas’ ‘frail’ body weighs 6 - 8 kilos less than tadej. this doesn’t HURT his chances of winning. also, if he really is frail, i don’t know how in hell he came back from broken ribs and a punctured lung that fast and finish second in the Tour — fighting until the bitter end as phil points out. most NFL, NBA and MLB players seem considerably more frail compared to jonas.OCexile02-12-2024

- Thanks, we’re trying, it’s harder for the Mrs, I’ve been through more than my fair share of injustices in life so can keep a straight head when it matters. The problem is that journalists are too expensive for anything but the most serious and valuable stories so these days there is very little comprehensive reporting and texts are left to volunteer wannabees who have little regard for the consequences of publishing incomplete or angled stories. If you’re interested in anything you have to double check everything by doing further research. But, as most people aren’t really that interested and read most material for entertainment or distraction purposes or simply to have something to help promote their preconceived ideas, it has all become the accepted norm and we will never ever turn that back around as a society because we train humans to become more and more lazy and comfortable, including when it comes to brain use and critical thinking. There, that’s my bit said for Sunday ;-)Mistermaumau01-12-2024
