The Giro d'Italia has revealed where the wildcards on offer for this year's race have landed. Three teams have been gifted participation, including Tudor Pro Cycling Team who will make a Grand Tour debut.
Unlike at the Tour de France, where there were just two wildcard invitations, at the Giro d'Italia, three were on offer after - for the second in a row - Lotto Dstny declined their place in the race, despite having earned it alongside Israel - Premier Tech through the World Tour rankings.
As mentioned, one of the invitees are the Tudor Pro Cycling Team. The team run by legendary time-trialist Fabian Cancellara, the Swiss team has star riders such as Arvid de Kleijn, Alberto Dainese, Michael Storer, Marius Mayrhofer and Matteo Trentin among others.
The other two wildcards fall to Giro d'Italia regulars, VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè and the team run by Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso Team Polti Kometa. Last year, in their guise of EOLO-Kometa, the team actually took a stage win through Davide Bais.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
