Team Polti Kometa's Paul Double, recently 3rd from the Tour of Turkey, spoke about his non-selection for the Giro di Italia (May 4-26). Although he says he respects the choice of his team, the Briton can't hide his disappointment after a strong spring campaign.
"I deserved to go," he begins a video published on the In The Wheels Youtube channel. "After the Giro di Abruzzo, I was supposed to do Asturias, but ultimately they changed my program to send me to the Tour of Turkey, in which I got an overall place."

"At that time it was 35 days of racing," he continued. "They told me that I deserved to go to the Giro but that if I went it would already give me more than 50 days of racing. So they preferred that I take some rest and concentrate on the second part of the season."
"Obviously I was keen to go to the Giro, but I fully respect this decision. I hope the team will do great things and I can't wait to see them at work," Double concluded.

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
