CyclingThursday, 25 May 2023 at 14:25
Santiago Buitrago has not been very active in the 2023 Giro d'Italia. The Colombian from Bahrain Victorious is fourteenth overall, almost 3 minutes behind the top 10. Before stage 18, he confessed to GCN+ that his goal in these last few tough mountain stages on the Corsa Rosa will be helping his teammate Damiano Caruso to finish in the top 5 overall.
"There are three tough days where we will give everything for Damiano Caruso who is fighting in the top-5. We cannot leave Caruso alone. The objective is to reach the top in the general classification with him. I can help, I'll be there."
Regarding his feelings, he admits that he is in good condition: "I am happy to be on stage 18 and with good weather, personally I feel good. Personally, I want to seek the stage victory, we will have to try. We have to go seeing how the race is taking place."

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
