After the abandon of Cian Uijtdebroeks through illness, Bahrain - Victorious' Antonio Tiberi is the new Maglia Bianca at the 2024 Giro d'Italia, rising to 5th overall as the Best Young Rider.
"Now I'm in the White Jersey but yeah, not in the way I was imagining," admitted the Italian talent in his post-stage 11 interview. "I also feel sad for Cian but now I'm in the White Jersey and I'm fighting for GC. I am really proud and happy."

As mentioned, the 22-year-old now sits 5th overall at the Giro, 4:27 down on the Maglia Rosa wearing Tadej Pogacar but more notably, just 1:31 off third placed Geraint Thomas and a spot on the final podium in Rome. Stage 11 though, was mostly about keeping safe and supporting Bahrain - Victorious sprinter, Phil Bauhaus in his attempts for a stage win.
"We did top-10 today with Phil so I'm really happy for him. We did a nice job. For me, it wasn't so easy because I'm not so fast, I prefer the mountains," Tiberi laughs. "The next few days I think will be really, really hard. Tomorrow we have a hard stage with a lot of kicks, then it's full focus for the time-trial and I think the stage to Livigno will be really hard."

- MVDP dominates this sport even more than Pogaçar dominates road racing. Also he can beat Tadej on the road quite regularly, the opposite is unlikely.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
