The mercurial Frenchman Warren Barguil will make his Giro d'Italia bow as leader of the Team Arkea Samsic lineup as the French-based team becomes the latest to confirm their 8-man squad.
Barguil is a former stage winner at both the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana plus a former King of the Mountains winner at his home Grand Tour back in 2017. As he looks to complete the hat-trick of Grand tour stage wins he will be supported by a team that will hope it can provide some success.

- One the one hand yes, on the other, TT is more of a measure of individual performance than positioning during hours of being pulled. In a tdf where each rider is alone all the way, it’d be interesting to see how the GC would look.Mistermaumau10-07-2025
- But very strong and convinced it need only be applied to othersMistermaumau10-07-2025
- Sorry, I pressed send by mistake. I agree with that Tadej has usually been more playful, but when he's obviously having a tough time, everyone can see it, he seems to hold back from crying.Hill3310-07-2025
- Vauquelin made him look like an old man when he passed him.Renz10-07-2025
- It seems too ingrained that he's in a tough sport and mustn't cry.Hill3310-07-2025
- Does he or his team work on his TT to the extent of the top teams?abstractengineer10-07-2025
- Yes, it's likely there was tension with his wife too, which would have aggravated the emotional destabilization. Regarding Tadej, I was referring to the sporting aspect. I never saw him cry, not even when he won something or when he brutally lost the Tour de France 2023. He takes the sport more playfully.
maria2024202410-07-2025 - The 2 causes you mention are certainly possible. A couple of things sprang to mind as I read them, though. One is that Jonas's wife might expect him to support her right to speak out, so she may be more upset than his team. The other is that Tadej has come close to crying at various times, but the English-language media doesn't seem to care. Like when he looked frazzled in the first stages of the Tour last year, and the fact that his grandfather had just died and he got Covid while going home for the funeral never occurred to them as contributing to this.Hill3310-07-2025
- IMO, 2 causes: 1- His wife's media scandal. Jonas is very emotional, he probably didn't sleep well and the atmosphere with his colleagues must have become strained. Another big difference with Tadej. Has anyone ever seen Tadej cry? emotionally is a rock. 2- his efforts to keep up with the two best Classics riders (Tadej and Mathieu). Becoming unnatural in this mode is an effort that comes at a price.maria2024202410-07-2025
