Neilson Powless in doubts for World Championships as EF Education fight for World Tour position
CyclingTuesday, 06 September 2022 at 08:30
EF Education-EasyPost are currently in a battle to remain at World Tour level, and that may influence the presence of it's riders in the World Championships. Neilson Powless, a possible leader for the USA team, is in doubt for the trip.
"I'm not sure if I'm going to Worlds - I'm still on the fence. I was selected for the team, and we're still trying to keep things in order for me to go to Worlds straight from Canada. But I would say it's 50-50 if I go or not," Powless said before the start of the Maryland Cycling Classic. Although the American didn't find a suiting route, he rode to third place on the day as EF Education-EasyPost benefited from their depth in the winning attack.
After several promising seasons, in 2021 Powless finally started delivering the results he was set out to, winning the Clasica San Sebastian and finishing fifth at the World Championships. A strong puncheur, the Wollongong route suits him quite well, but the decision is yet to be made from EF Education and the USA national team.

- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!

- That's right, Giannetti said that Almeida and Ayuso asked to go to the 2024 TdF. They told them that Tadej was the only captain then if they went, they would be domestiques. Both accepted. Almeida kept his word, but Ayuso was a traitor. As soon as he realized he couldn't play his game , hiding at the back of the peloto, watching his classification, he got "COVID" (in summer, at 40 °C), leaving his team with a man less.
