Completing the 30-strong roster of Soudal - Quick-Step, the 22-year-old Gianmarco Garofoli joins the Wolfpack on one-year deal. The Italian previously made a professional debut with Astana Qazaqstan. And albeit he didn't have many stand-out results, he certainly didn't disappoint with a number of top-10 finishes, including at recent Vuelta a Espana.
"I am really happy to ride for one of the best teams in the world next year, it’s a great chance which I’m already looking forward to with a lot of excitement. I hope to help on the climbs whenever needed and grab any opportunity that comes. The main goal for next season is to keep growing and become a better rider, and I am confident this is the perfect environment for me to do it," Garofoli said in a press release after inking the deal.
"We are known as being a team that invests in youngsters and believes in them, and Gianmarco’s transfer is another confirmation of this. He is just 22 years of age and has a lot of potential, has shown some nice things this season in hard races such as the Vuelta, but also before turning pro, so we welcome him in the team with open arms and can’t wait to see him in action next year," Soudal - Quick-Step CEO Patrick Lefevere added.

- 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

- 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
