Simon Geschke and Benjamin Thomas lead Cofidis' charge for stage wins at the Giro d'Italia
CyclingTuesday, 30 April 2024 at 10:43
Cofidis is arguably one of the teams that sets to the start of the Giro d'Italia with one of the most modest lineups; they will be chasing stage wins from the breakaways with a lineup that features Simon Geschke and Benjamin Thomas as the leaders.
The two riders stand chances of winning a stage, most likely in the hilly days that the Corsa Rosa will go through. The team can also count on Stefano Oldani who has won such a day back in 2022 whilst riding for Alpecin-Fenix.
The team will back up Stanislaw Aniolkowski for the sprints as an outsider. The lineup is completed by a few riders who should have as their priority to feature in the breakaways, give sponsor exposure and possibly wear one of the leader's jerseys: Nicolas Debeaumarché, Thomas Champion, Rubén Fernandéz and Harrison Wood.

- Finally! A tour with Tadej and Jonas in the start-list! la vita è bella!
maria2024202401-06-2025 - Yes, I do think he was getting very unhelpful orders. But I was still shocked and sad. At some point I was hoping he would pull the earpiece out and just ride till he was spent!Hill3301-06-2025
- Carapaz wasn't pulling on Finestre. He was repeatedly attacking Del Toro, and then sitting up. He was focused entirely on dropping Del Toro, rather than keeping the two of them ahead. This is why Yates caught them so easily. And when Yates went ahead, Carapaz made no effort to go after him to preserve his 2nd place. He continued to focus on slowing down Del Toro. He succeeded.
Barney01-06-2025 - I would agree that del Toro dropped the ball; however, Carapaz consistently works against the people he is riding with. There have been too many times where he is ahead in a small break, and rather than pulling, he attacks, sits on, and attacks again, disrupting the rhythm.Barney01-06-2025
- dont you think it was instructions from the team car rather than his giving up? he seemed to be following orders throughout the race?Crashjames01-06-2025
- incredible maturity for such a young guy. Pity that UAE DS messed up the tactics on stage 20Crashjames01-06-2025
- Contador's comments are becoming crazier. Carapaz pulled on the climb. Del toro did not. He is not Del toro's teammateabstractengineer01-06-2025
- No Alberto, Del Toro lost it for himself...
leedorney01-06-2025 - What a delusional bloke! Talking about fighting for the overall while being 13 minutes down the GC. It’s evident that his crash into the parked bus damaged not only his performance but brains as well. With Jonas as the best GT rider and other top GT GC riders absent.. it would have been more than 20minutes.
UltimateOpportunist01-06-2025 - However awful UAE's tactics were, and however bad the fear of being cracked again by Carapaz were, it is still almost beyond belief that Del Toro stopped fighting. Very sad, he had shown such fighting spirit.Hill3301-06-2025
