Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team are very likely to have big ambitions towards the 2023 Giro d'Italia, and so they were represented this Monday in Milano by Mattia Cattaneo who may have an important role in the race.
“The individual time trials in Ortona and Cesena will make the first two weeks of the race quite balanced, before what will be a tough third week, with a lot of long and excruciating climbs," Cattaneo commented on the route reveal, which will see almost 70 kilometers of time-trialing and several high-mountain stages in the second half of the race which will put all GC riders through multiple massive GC tests.

No matter how big the gaps in the general classification will be at that point, the Giro won’t be decided, as many things can happen in those last mountain stages," he commented. Cattaneo himself could be a potential GC candidate specially taking into consideration the long time-trialing kilometers early on, but it is very likely that Remco Evenepoel will eye the pink jersey.
"I know many of the roads on the parcours, as I have trained there a lot of times, and they will give an opportunity to shine to different riders, making for an exciting race," he concluded, also heavily hinting that he will be at the startline in Abbruzo this May.

- When a guy like Madoff gets done do you spout off about all the others trying to fraud in a lesser style who didn’t really gain much from their efforts? It’s like taxes, if we’re going to pursue everyone equally we may as well never start. I’m fine that we start at the top, there’s plenty of work there. Once we’ve caught the big cheats then we can see how valuable it is going after smaller ones.Mistermaumau24-11-2024

- Yes, thank you Maria. He has a fractured skull but no pain or sequels and there should be no consequences after the small bump deflates. If anything, he is more likely to get something from the radiation he received when they “investigated” for abuse, CT scan, MRI, a dozen x-rays and he will have to have a follow up scan too. But as said, all due to childbirth, if we hadn’t noticed or worried and not taken him to emergencies, he’d have had no tests at all and instead of one to check the fracture wasn’t serious he got far more :-(Mistermaumau24-11-2024
