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.

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
