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.

- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- How is radio going to help when someone went over a cliff or bridge or off the roadside into a forest unnoticed and is laying there unconscious?Jumpyjohn07-11-2026

- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- Yeah man...PogiSloFans07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
