Lorenzo Fortunato leads EOLO-Kometa at Giro d'Italia in hunt for stage wins
CyclingTuesday, 02 May 2023 at 10:24
Alberto Contador's EOLO-KOMETA has unveiled its more than interesting team for the 2023 Giro d'Italia in which the leader will be Lorenzo Fortunato, who comes from winning the queen stage and the general classification of the Vuelta a Asturias and who will try, as in 2021, to try to win a big high mountain stage.
The Italian finished 16th in the Giro in 2021 when he took his unforgettable victory on Monte Zoncolan. Last year, in 2022, he finished 15th, but was unable to finish any stage in the top 10 and heading into this 2023 edition he has made it clear that his goal is not the overall, but partial wins.
The other strong man of the Italian team will undoubtedly be Vincenzo Albanese, who finished second in two stages in Asturias and took the points classification, and finished third in early April in the Giro di Sicilia, being second in two stages. He is a very fast man who will also try to take advantage of a breakaway.
Completing the strong team are riders such as Francesco Gavazzi, Diego Sevilla, Davide Bais, Erik Fetter, Mattia Bais and Mirco Maestri.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
