🚴♂️Nicola Conci @nikconci sale del Gazprom y se une al Alpecin-Fenix 💪A falta de confirmación oficial por parte del Alpecin, el ciclista italiano se unirá al equipo de desarrollo tras retirársele la licencia al equipo ruso as.com/ciclismo/2022/…
With the possible end of the former Gazprom-Rusvelo team, several Italian riders were left without a contract in the middle of the racing season. Nicola Conci was one of them, but has in the meantime found a home in the Alpecin-Fenix Development Team.
The 25-year old has made his World Tour debut in 2017, and was a member of Trek - Segafredo until the end of last year. Although yet to score a pro win, he's made his career as a reliable domestique in the mountainous and hilly races.
As some of his teammates, he was lucky to find a place in the Italian national team in the months after being left without a team. He's finished ninth at Per Sempre Alfredo, tenth at the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali and sixth at the Giro di Sicilia showcasing his talent on the climbs. Despite the complicated period of the year, Conci was able to find a new team. He will not be racing in the main team as it currently has the maximum allowed limit of riders - 31.
It is not the first time that the Belgian team signs a well-experienced pro into their development team - which then follow up with a promotion to the main team - as was the case of Guillaume von Keirsbulck. Besides, the team frequently uses it's riders from the development team under the denomination of Alpecin-Fenix, as it is possible to do so outside of World Tour races - a strategy that has earned the team many points and played a part in it's future promotion.

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
