Santiago Buitrago and Jack Haig lead Bahrain - Victorious at mountainous Tour of the Alps

Bahrain - Victorious is heading with numbers towards the Giro d'Italia, and some of it's cards will be warming up at the Tour of the Alps. Whilst Damiano Caruso and Gino Mäder take alternative approaches, Jack Haig and Santiago Buitrago ride the Tour of the Alps for some direct competition with some of their rivals for the Corsa Rosa.
Buitrago has finished third in the Saudi Tour and Vuelta a Andalucia earlier in the year, and has broken through the field last year, winning several races including a stage win at the Giro where he now hopes to deliver in the overall classification. Alongside him will be Jack Haig, The Australian finished third at the last Grand Tour he completed - the 2021 Vuelta a Espana. His form hasn't been flashy this year so far, but now it he comes close to his big goal of the season.
“Many of the riders on the startlist will most likely be at the Giro so there are some strong teams. We know that of the five stages, the first three will be GC days, and the other two more like breakaway stages. The climbs are steep and long, but there are many other things in the race to consider," team DS Gorazd Štangelj said in a press release.
“Our idea is for Jack and Santi to find some condition after coming back from altitude camp. We have Jack as leader and road captain, and Santiago as co-leader, even though the race might suit Santi better. But it’s not just about watts per kilo!" he explained. Hermann Pernsteiner, Jasha Sutterlin and Edoardo Zambanini join likely as part of the Giro block, with Nicolò Buratti concluding the lineup.
Bahrain - Victorious for Tour of the Alps:
Santiago Buitrago, Nicolò Buratti, Jack Haig, Hermann Pernsteiner, Jasha Sutterlin and Edoardo Zambanini.

- 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
