Giro d'Italia: Israel - Premier Tech select Michael Woods, Ethan Vernon and Nick Schultz in pursuit of glory
CyclocrossTuesday, 30 April 2024 at 13:05
Israel - Premier Tech have shared their lineup for the Giro d'Italia and they include riders who will seek stage wins. The overall classification is an unlikely goal, with Michael Woods being the team's headliner who can possibly aim for both.
Woods has won stages at the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, and now will look to complete the treble of Grand Tour triumphs. Because of this, and the large amount of time-trialing kilometers, it is unlikely that the Canadian will aim for the GC even if he has his best form - which has not been the case this year.
The team will back up Ethan Vernon for the race's sprints; the Briton won on his first outing with the Israeli team this year at the Tour des Alpes Maritimes. Hugo Hofstetter and Riley Pickrell - who won stages at both under-23 Giro d'Italia and Tour de France last year - will support him in the leadouts.
Nick Schultz also won the first stage of the Volta a Catalunya - ahead of Tadej Pogacar - and will be an option for the hilly days; Marco Frigo and Simon Clarke will also eye these stages. Israeli Nadav Raisberg completes the lineup.

- Almeida’s is up in 2027 when he’ll be 28. Let the bidding begin.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- You were wondering how come MVDP is rated higher by whoever and the way JM refers to a website. Obviously they’re all somehow ranking which means attributing a score to performance. As I said, no idea how but one reason he may be ranked higher is if more than just wins are counted. Like at the Olympics, some rank by gold, some prefer considering all medals, usually in order for a preferred country/athlete to look better. At some moment, in order to rank more than wins, every ranking or algorithm has to attribute points or value to different positions in order to tally and compare.Mistermaumau28-05-2025

- The good thing about being young is that you recover faster than older people after a good night sleep and in the interview he said he had the best sleep after a rough day yesterday.
KerisVroom28-05-2025 - I don't know where you are referring to "points," given that I was looking at wins in different categories (overall, monuments, world tour) and trying to make different comparisons to illustrate my point. Could you clarify?RidesHills28-05-2025
- His contract is until 2028. Isaac's contract is until 2029 and will be revised if he can keep the GC podium. Like it or not, it will be very hard for other team to secure Juan Ayuso's service before the end of the contract because UAE has money and won't let go of him that easily.KerisVroom28-05-2025
- In a team where Pogi is present, the others would be helpers was already known. Yet Ayuso, Almeida, Adam all signed up due to money. Now they cannot demand anything over Pogi. Leftovers is the best that they can get.abstractengineer28-05-2025
- How long does Ayuso have left at UAE? That might open up a slot unless Del Toro takes it.Renz28-05-2025
- That’s a rather large number of bonus seconds he earnt, is it from the 2 weeks or just today?Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- When ever will he learn, always has a excuse.
