The Italian climbing sensation Giulio Pellizzari set to step up to WorldTour with BORA - hansgrohe in 2025

Giulio Pellizzari made an entrance to the big cycling world in 2023, when the still just 20-year-old Italian, among other great results, finished second overall at Tour de l'Avenir, losing only to Mexican wonder Isaac del Toro.
Already then, we have heard reports that Pellizzari was in talks with BORA - hansgrohe over the possibility of joining the team early for 2024, however that was not possible as the Italian had one more year on his contract with his current employer, the Italian ProTeam VF Group - Bardiani CSF - Faizanè.
After Pellizzari's eighth place at the highly regarded Tour of the Alps, including a second place in a stage, the young climber has again become a subject of transfer speculations.
However the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport makes it clear that Pellizzari, currently in action at Giro d'Italia, has already found a new home for 2025. It comes as a little to no surprise that he should head to the German World Tour team, which will welcome Austrian super-sponsor Red Bull aboard next month.

- From what I've been seeing and reading Jonas is on great form. I expect a great Tour again this year. These guys are made to race against each other.awp05-05-2025
- Vingo is not injured, it is just not had a good preparation going for the Tour. Same as well Pogi in 2023.

- "become one of the peloton's top sprinters"? -- he's anything but a sprinter, and the admins would obviously know this. So much on this site feels increasingly like it's been written by AI (and then barely reviewed by a human afterwards).boodyb05-05-2025
- Ayuso couldn't work well with. Period, ahahaha. All depends on TT stages. If Ayuso take a lot of advantage over Adam, then he will be the leader, no problems inside the team BUT if Ayuso/Yates are tied... a lot of problems can emerge in the group.
maria2024202405-05-2025 - Pogacar in La VUelta? IMHO, no. Tadej is so in love with his Rainbow t-shirt. Most likely, after the Tour, he will rest and prepare very well the World Championship Race, as he does every year, then Almeida will have his opportunity in La Vuelta.maria2024202405-05-2025
- The main UAE goal is the 4th Tour de France, then Almeida have to work with Pogacar preparing the Tour. In addition, UAE has to make concessions to Ayuso. The young man is very talented and ... impatient: he wants big opportunities NOW or maybe he could leave UAE.maria2024202405-05-2025
- Tadej wasn’t in top form either in 2023mij05-05-2025
- What a simplistic analysis. Nobody knew in advance Almeida would finally have his streak. Nobody can know if this streak is perhaps also DUE to knowing he’s not on Giro duty. Nobody knows if with all his efforts so far this year, he’d have enough left for 3 weeks of Giro, - especially now that he’s “become a sprinter” :-) And finally, after all the success and effort and then trying to win the Giro, how much would he have left to be there for Tadej in the Tour. Trust me, between letting Almeida win a GT and improving Tadej’s chances of securing another Tour, you can bet UAE have their priorities. And that’s all without even considering if he’s maybe putting on a good show with the intent of increasing his negociation value come transfer time.Mistermaumau05-05-2025
