Trek-Segafredo have named their eight riders for the Tour de France , with Quinn Simmons, Mads Pedersen, Jasper Stuyven, Bauke Mollema, Giulio Ciccone and Toms Skujiņš part of an eight-rider roster dubbed ‘The Victorious Vikings’ by the US-registered WorldTour team.

Trek-Segafredo will target stage victories rather than the overall classification, with the early stages in Denmark and northern France objectives for Classics riders such as Pedersen, Stuyven and Simmons. The yellow jersey is a possibility for Pedersen if he can ride a good opening time trial in Copenhagen on Friday.  

Mollema and Ciccone will target the mountain stages, with Skujiņš suited to hilly terrain. Luxembourg’s Alex Kirsch will make his Tour de France debut at the age of 30, while Frenchman Tony Gallopin completes the eight-rider roster.

“The big goal is to win at least one stage, but I think with the group we have that we can do even more than that,” directeur sportif Kim Andersen said.

“It’s a clear goal for the team and for Mads to go for the stages in Denmark. Firstly, he will try to do a super time trial in Copenhagen, and then we can try to grab some bonus seconds if the yellow jersey is within reach. 

“We have two big riders for the cobbled fifth stage: Jasper and Mads. From there on we will try to be in all the breakaways, and we have smart riders who know how to win from this position.”

Pedersen finished fourth in the Danish national time trial championships and then second in the road race championships.

Quinn Simmons will make his Tour de France debut at just 21. The former Junior world champion earned his spot with a strong performance at the recent Tour de Suisse where he won the climber’s competition after going on the attack several times.

Are Lidl-Trek's bikes the prettiest at the Tour de France?

Each rider of the women's and men's teams will be racing aboard a one-of-a-kind Project One ICON Trek Émonda or Madone

  • Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Trek Project One ICON TdF edition collage

When the 2023 Tour de France gets underway on Saturday, July 1, each rider of the Lidl-Trek squad (formerly knowns as Trek-Segafredo) will be rolling through France on a one-of-a-kind Project One Icon bicycle.

Trek today unveiled eight all-new Project One ICON paint schemes, made especially for the bike brand's professional men’s and women’s road teams but available for consumers worldwide. 

Trek says that each paint scheme is handcrafted using individualized paint processes that create organic designs and patterns that cannot be replicated. Therefore, no two Project One ICON frames are exactly the same. 

These new paint colors are available, made to order, on Trek’s Émonda SLR and Madone SLR framesets. 

All Project One ICON bikes are painted in-house at Trek's Wisconsin headquarters by the brand's "most experienced Project One artists."

"These bespoke designs are about more than colors that stand out: they're filled with texture, depth and mood," says Trek. 

Trek did not yet say which rider will be aboard what color; I guess we'll just have to tune in to the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift later in the month to find out.

The all-new schemes:

Chroma Ultra-Iridescent (limited edition) 

Chroma Ultra-iridescent comes from years of trial, error, and combined artistic brainpower from Project One’s most sought-after master painters. It takes a certain level of skill and know-how to create a paint so radiant.

Chroma Diamond Flake (limited edition)

Millions upon millions of microscopic chrome flakes create a stunning scheme worthy of every display. No two diamonds are the same and with this limited-edition colorway, riders will have a dream bike that shines differently in every light. 

Real Smoke (Cerulean Mist, Red Smolder, and White Ash) 

Real Smoke is a hazy, hand-crafted paint scheme that uses fire as the main ingredient. Each frame catches smoke within its base paint layers for a design that never cools.

Crystalline (Blue Prismatic and Viper Frost)

These one-of-a-kind paint schemes are created organically by fusing together thousands of tiny crystals into lattices that sparkle in any light. Just like the natural phenomena they replicate, Crystalline bikes are like snowflakes — each one as unique as the next.

Team Tie Dye

This unique paint scheme in pro team colors complements the six additional Tie Dye options currently available through Project One that launched earlier this year.

Trek aren't the only bike brands unveiling special bikes at this year's Tour de France - so far we've also seen Lapierre's AI designed Xelius SL for Groupama-FDJ and Mark Cavendish's personalised Wilier Filante SLR.

Cycling Weekly 's North American Editor, Anne-Marije Rook is old school. She holds a degree in journalism and started out as a newspaper reporter — in print! She can even be seen bringing a pen and notepad to the press conference.

Originally from The Netherlands, she grew up a bike commuter and didn't find bike racing until her early twenties when living in Seattle, Washington. Strengthened by the many miles spent darting around Seattle's hilly streets on a steel single speed, Rook's progression in the sport was a quick one. As she competed at the elite level, her journalism career followed, and soon she became a full-time cycling journalist. She's now been a cycling journalist for 11 years.

Trek - Segafredo announce new equipment for men's and women's Tour de France

As the most prestigious and reported race of the year, the Tour de France is often the stage for several teams to unveil new looks, so as to gather more visibility and try out new designs. Trek - Segafredo was one of them.

The American team revealed a black equipment that will be used at both Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes later in July, with blue and pink stripes across the chest in a style that resembles the Baloise - Trek Lions' cyclocross team equipment.

Trek-Segafredo convinced Tour de France win is still within Contador’s reach

Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! >","name":"in-content-cta","type":"link"}}'>Download the app .

He’s now 34 years of age and hasn’t won a Grand Tour since the 2015 Giro d’Italia, but Alberto Contador’s new team has faith that the atmosphere at Trek-Segafredo will give him a new edge.

Speaking to CyclingTips at the team training camp in Albir, Spain, general manager Luca Guercilena and directeur sportif Steven de Jongh have both backed Contador in his campaign to win another Tour de France.

They have dismissed the claims of Tinkoff owner Oleg Tinkov that the rider is over the hill and won’t take another yellow jersey to Paris.

“Alberto is clearly a great champion,” said Guercilena. “For us it is really a success to have him here with us. I still think he is competitive in the GC, especially in the Grand Tours. We would love to support him and to create an environment that can help him to be back and to perform at 100 percent of what he needs.

“I think we are on the good way. We would like just to let him feel comfortable and relaxed at the start of the three week races so he can focus 100 percent on the performance.”

De Jongh worked with Contador for four years at Tinkoff and has moved across with the Spaniard, along with several others.

He too was in attendance at the team camp and sat down to talk about the move. Like Guercilena, he too is convinced that Contador has more to give.

“He looks very happy,” de Jongh said. “He is pleased with everything happening with the team and also with all the other signings too. With the riders they have brought to the team and those they had before, he is maybe in better surroundings than in recent years.

“The structure looks really good too, so we are looking forward to the start of next season.”

For de Jongh, there is another factor too which he believed could make a difference: having calmer surroundings.

“For Alberto, the environment here is more quiet than before,” he said, likely referring to the friction between the rider and Tinkov.

However, that said, he also underlined the importance of what the Russian had done.

“Okay, with Oleg Alberto had his ups and downs, but in the end Oleg paid a lot of money,” he said. “Last year Alberto couldn’t deliver a Grand Tour win, but before that there were no major incidents, I think.

“When Alberto won the Giro and the year before when he was in good shape for the Tour, everything was going quite well of course. We are grateful that Oleg put in so much money because in the end he paid it from his own pocket. I respect that.”

Contador won the 2016 Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco.

‘He is a super-professional rider’

Contador is in the final few years of his career but is one of the most successful riders of the modern era. He won the Tour de France in 2007 and 2009, as well as two editions of the Giro d’Italia and three of the Vuelta a España.

In recent years his push for a Tour win has been complicated by a successful 2015 Giro campaign which left him worn out in the later race, as well as crashes in 2014 and again this year.

He knows that the clock is ticking but is determined to top the podium again in July one more time. His move to Trek-Segafredo is a step towards that goal.

Several people at the Trek camp said they believed that Contador will benefit from his change. Moving from Tinkov’s team brought to an end the ever-increasing pressure from the Russian to win the sport’s biggest race and, when the latter started to publicly slate his star rider, it was clear that their relationship was on the rocks.

While Guercilena also wants to see Contador in yellow in Paris, he said that his team would focus on supporting him in the best way in order to help him get the most out of himself.

He is convinced that getting that aspect right will have a clear benefit.

“What we know is that Trek Segafredo can help him to be back focussing just on the sports side and not to have any other specific stress around doing his job,” he explained. “We all know that a rider’s job is quite difficult. You need a mental approach that should be really targeting only the results and not be distracted by other things.”

However, while he is suggesting the Trek-Segafredo atmosphere will be better for Contador, Guercilena held back from saying that Tinkov’s approach was incorrect.

“A great champion is always able to deal with this kind of stress,” he said, when asked about the tension between Tinkov and Contador. “In a certain way it is normal also that owners can put a bit of pressure on the athletes.

“[But] It is evident that if the environment that you have around you is supporting you 100 percent, it is easier to reach your goals. If it is not, then the mental approach can clearly be affected. But let’s see how it will be with us. Talking about other situations is never easy because we don’t know the situation itself.”

It is early days, but thus far Guercilena makes clear that he is happy with what he has seen.

“The feeling is that he is a super professional rider,” he stated. “He is clearly a person and a rider who looks a lot at the details; we all know in cycling details are what are making the difference.

“On top of that, he is a guy who is fitting in well with the group. I see that he has the capability to merge with the riders that he knows will be supporting him in the next season.”

Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) crashed heavily on the opening stage of the 2016 Tour de France.

‘He definitely still has the qualities needed’

During the camp those working with Contador on the technical side of things told CyclingTips that they believe that improvement has already been found in terms of equipment and bike setup.

De Jongh echoed this. “We went to the track a couple of days ago and some interesting things came up there,” he said, referring to the tests carried out.

“Yesterday we went back to the bike fitting people and we improved a bit. It is all those small things that I think we have to work on. You cannot leave any stone unturned…let’s put it like that.”

Contador didn’t speak to media at the camp but will do so at the next get together in January. The aim was to ease him into his new setup and to let him concentrate on getting his position and equipment dialled, on meeting his new teammates and on building form.

He will keep working in the coming weeks and will then make his season debut in the Ruta del Sol in February. After that he is likely to ride Paris-Nice, the Volta a Catalunya and the Vuelta a Pais Vasco in his buildup to the Tour de France.

The latter event is the number one focus and, after the frustrations of recent campaigns, a huge target for Contador.

“Alberto definitely thinks that he can still win a big Tour,” says de Jongh, dismissing any claims he is too old. “He is always super motivated, and has some extra ambitions for sure after the past couple of years didn’t go as he hoped.

“I still believe he can win the Tour. He definitely still has the qualities. He needs to stay healthy…that is the main thing, I think.”

Trek-Segafredo to use new Domane on Tour de France cobbles – but when will it be released?

What we know so far about the new Domane, ridden to victory at Paris-Roubaix Femmes by Elisa Longo Borghini

George Scott / Our Media

Ashley Quinlan

While we were browsing the smørgasbord of Tour de France bikes at the Grand Départ in Copenhagen, we clocked Trek’s new Domane endurance bike propped against the Trek-Segafredo team bus.

The bike isn’t exactly brand new to the top table of the world cycling scene – it’s already been ridden to victory by Elisa Longo Borghini at Paris-Roubaix Femmes, where team-mate Lucinda Brand also took third.

It’s safe to say that it’s passed its apprenticeship and the new, as-yet-unreleased bike will also be used by Trek-Segafredo riders on the cobbles of stage five from Lille Métropole to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut on Wednesday.

The Domane has established itself as one of the best endurance road bikes out there since it was originally launched ahead of the 2012 cobbled Classics , but what can we expect from this latest version? And when will it be released?

Here’s what we know about the new Domane so far, and a more detailed look at the setup of Giulio Ciccone’s bike for the Tour de France.

2023 Trek Domane now launched

Trek has now officially launched the 2023 Trek Domane , confirming our speculation that the bike is more aero and can fit mudguards.

Trek also says the new Domane is the lightest-ever disc-equipped version of the bike, shaving 300g off the weight of its predecessor.

team trek segafredo tour de france

The new Domane features a deeper head tube profile than the current model, and sees a long, sculpted curve that forms a continuous line through to the top tube.

Running parallel to that, a smaller secondary sculpt is visible running from the fork crown to the down tube. Both of these, we suspect, combine to control airflow over the frame and the rider’s bluff body.

The down tube looks a little shaved down, too, complete with more squared-off rear sides that could be a nod to achieving more stability in crosswinds.

Either way, it appears as though Trek has given the Domane an aero makeover. This may be an endurance bike, but it’s one used to being ridden fast.

Simplified and rear-only IsoSpeed

team trek segafredo tour de france

Trek’s IsoSpeed technology has been a successful inclusion in its bike line-ups of recent years, having debuted on the original Domane and gone through several iterations since.

However, IsoSpeed has also had its critics for being a source of excess weight, as well as being an additional area of the bike in need of occasional servicing.

The new Trek Madone aero bike has done away with IsoSpeed completely in favour of IsoFlow (a big hole in the seat tube designed to improve aerodynamics and comfort), while the Trek has dropped the IsoSpeed decoupler from the front-end of the new Domane, and simplified it at the rear.

Starting with the front, we reckon this is a decision made to save a little weight, potentially increase rigidity through the cockpit, and make servicing a little easier. Note the brake hose routing, which now enters through the front of the head tube, rather than behind.

Although a real-world bike rider might lament the loss of IsoSpeed compliance at the front, any weight saving and ease of servicing (in labour costs alone) will be a plus, and the presence of wider tyres on the latest road bikes goes a long way to improving comfort without mechanical intervention.

The rear IsoSpeed decoupler appears to have been slimmed down, and no longer features any obvious adjustability, as present on the existing Domane.

In this Covid-affected world, we weren’t allowed to prise away the cover to see if any adjustor lurks in there alongside a clamp mechanism.

There’s also a mysterious hex bolt recess under the top tube, which clearly no longer releases the old cover on the underside of the top tube on the previous model .

This could still play a role in modulating how much compliance the new system gives, but we’ll have to wait and see whether there’s any adjustability in this latest version of the Domane’s IsoSpeed.

No more seatmast

team trek segafredo tour de france

In addition, the old seatmast has been replaced by a more ‘normal’-looking D-shaped seatpost, which now inserts directly into the seat tube.

If one of the goals of the new Domane has been to simplify the design – both in terms of dropping a harder-to-service proprietary system and saving weight – then this would seem to be a smart decision. D-shaped posts are also purported to improve comfort by offering additional flex.

Classic purveyors of the D-shape seatpost, such as BMC, Giant and Canyon, have seen good success with their solutions, so why not repeat the trick here?

What about tyre clearance?

team trek segafredo tour de france

The outgoing Domane currently officially supports clearance for up to 38mm tyres, and by eyeballing the clearance left behind by Ciccone’s choice of 30mm Pirelli P-Zero Race TLR rubber, we’d say this has remained about the same.

It raises an interesting question: with Ciccone likely wanting to survive the cobbled stage five of the Tour (and save as much energy as possible on what’s set to be a tough day in the saddle for the lightweight Italian climber), has he decided that 30mm tyres and the pared-down IsoSpeed are enough to strike an optimum balance of speed and compliance?

Overall, the lack of front IsoSpeed and simplification of the rear decoupler (plus the dropping of the seatmast) suggests that both the Trek-Segafredo teams may have already found a level of compliance to suit their needs thanks to the trend towards using wider tyres.

As for the general public, more compliance could be achieved by opting for 32mm tyres, or even wider.

Can you still run mudguards?

team trek segafredo tour de france

All this talk of Paris-Roubaix and the Tour de France may make the Domane feel skewed towards racing, and the fact that Trek is still pushing it as the pro team’s bike for the cobbles means that argument holds some water. But will it accept mudguards?

We spotted two bolt recesses around the rear dropout, but these are likely to be the attachment points for the hanger, rather than dedicated mudguard mounts.

Time will tell if mudguard mounts make it to the new Domane in time for its official launch. There are plenty of endurance bike examples where mudguard mounts are included, and plenty where they’re not.

Certainly in the BikeRadar office, we think they’d be helpful for pros doing their winter training, but a very welcome feature for any hardy recreational rider, too.

When will it be launched?

team trek segafredo tour de france

Trek is still quiet on the subject of launch dates, but it would make a lot of sense to see it appear around September or October time this year.

That puts it firmly in line to take advantage of any prospective winter bike buyers, as well as those after a more compliant, endurance-type all-rounder.

With component availability issues as they are across the industry , a release towards the end of the year may also give Trek more time to source parts – and offer consumer availability – for Shimano 105 Di2 builds.

That’s all we know for now. Stay tuned to BikeRadar for all the latest news around the new Domane as it lands – and let us know what you want to see in the comments below.

T he 76th Critérium du Dauphiné starts this Sunday, June 2, with a 174.8-kilometer road race that starts and ends in Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule–and we can’t wait! This 8-day mini- Tour de France offers everything we love about its larger, more prestigious cousin, including several of the Tour’s top contenders, stages that offer something for every kind of rider, and even a yellow leader’s jersey that matches the Tour de France maillot jaune .

Like many European bike races, the Critérium du Dauphiné (we just call it “the Dauphiné”) was originally created to promote a local newspaper, the Dauphiné Libéré, a provincial newspaper that covers the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of south-central France—the area that the race calls its home. In fact, the race was actually called the “Dauphiné Libéré” until 2010, at which point it was taken over by the Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.), the organizers of the Tour de France .

The race highlights one of the most beautiful regions in France, an area that includes the Alps, Mont Ventoux, and the Massif Central. This gives the organizers lots of options when it comes to building a challenging course, and they often create stages that mirror those in the upcoming Tour de France. This is one of the main reasons why it’s a popular dress rehearsal for General Classification riders hoping to be at their best for the French grand tour.

And it’s not uncommon for riders to win the Critérium du Dauphiné and then the Tour de France six weeks later. Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard-Hansen did it last year with Jumbo-Visma. Team Sky made winning both races a habit in the 2010s, with Britons Chris Froome winning both events in 2013, 2015, and 2016, and Geraint Thomas winning the Dauphiné-Tour combo in 2018.

It’s also a race that has traditionally favored Americans. Five riders from the United States have won the prestigious event in its 75-year history, and we wouldn’t be surprised if America makes it six by the time the race wraps up on the Plateau des Glières next Sunday.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Critérium du Dauphiné, one of the most exciting and important week-long stage races of the season:

The 2024 Route

This year’s Dauphiné covers 1203.8 km (746 mi) spread over eight stages. The race begins Sunday with Stage 1, a jagged road stage around Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule that–despite three categorized climbs early in the stage–should end with a field sprint.

But Monday’s Stage 2, a 142-kilometer road stage that begins in Gannat, definitely won’t. That stage contains four categorized climbs, including two Category 2 ascents on the way to an uphill finish on the Col de la Loge. This could be an early day for the Dauphiné’s General Classification contenders to try and take the yellow leader’s jersey. If they don’t, the stage will certainly go to a breakaway filled with puncheurs .

Stage 3 continues this year’s punchy trend with a hilly route filled with five categorized climbs. The 181.2-kilometer stage begins in Celles-sur-Durolle and ends with an uphill finish on the Category 3 climb to Les Estables, a 3.8km climb with an average gradient of 5.2 percent.

Wednesday brings Stage 4, a 34.4-kilometer individual time trial from Saint-Germain-Laval to Neulise. This should cause the first real shuffling of the General Classification of the race, with men like Primož Roglič (BORA-hansgrohe) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) among the favorites to win the stage and take the yellow jersey.

Thursday’s Stage 5 is the longest stage of the Dauphiné, a 200.2-kilometer ride from Amplepuis to Saint-Priest. Even with four categorized climbs spread throughout the stage. This should be the last chance for the sprinters–unless a breakaway ruins their plans.

And then come the mountains, starting with Friday’s Stage 6, a 173.2-kilometer stage that starts in Hauterives and ends with a summit finish on the hors categorie (“Beyond Category”) Collet d’Allevard, an 11.1km climb with an average gradient of 8.1-percent.

Starting in Albertville, Stage 7 is even harder, with four Category 1 ascents and then a summit finish on the hors categorie climb to the Samoëns 1600 ski resort–all crammed into just 145.5 km. The climb to Samoëns 1600 is a beast: 10 km long, the climb averages 9.3 percent–and even that’s a bit misleading thanks to the opening kilometer’s 3.3 percent average gradient. With over 4,200m of elevation gain, this is the hardest stage in this year’s Dauphiné.

But just in case the race hasn’t been decided yet, Stage 8 ends the week with a bang. Beginning in the town of Thônes–near the base of the Category 1 Col de la Forclaz de Montmin–the 152.5km stage takes the riders over three categorized climbs before yet another summit finish, this time on the Category 1 Plateau des Glières. This is another short, intense stage that should provide an exciting conclusion to the 2024 Critérium du Dauphiné.

What Happened Last Year

As it did the year before (sorta), the 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné served as a bit of a crystal ball heading into the Tour de France, with Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard and Jumbo-Visma dominating the race from start to finish. In all, the Dutch super-team won four stages, with France’s Christophe Laporte winning Stages 1 and 3 (and the green jersey as the winner of the Points Classification) and Vingegaard winning Stages 5 and 7 on his way to winning the race overall. The Dane won his second consecutive Tour de France six weeks later.

Great Britain’s Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) finished second–he went on to finish third at the Tour de France–and Australia’s Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën Team) finished third. Spain’s Carlos Rodriguez won the white jersey as the Dauphiné’s Best Young Rider, and Italy’s Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) won the polka dot jersey as the Dauphiné’s King of the Mountains.

Riders to Watch

Primož Roglič (BORA-hansgrohe)

Roglič won the Critérium du Dauphiné in 2022 and is once again using the French WorldTour stage race as a dress rehearsal for the Tour de France. The Slovenian was one of the victims of the horrible crash in April’s Itzulia Basque Country –the same crash that took down Vingegaard, who won’t be participating in this year’s Dauphiné due to his injuries (he’s at a training camp instead).

Roglič abandoned the Basque race immediately–despite being the race leader at the time–but he was among the less injured of the riders who went down. So, while he was forced to skip the Ardennes Classics, he remained largely on track for the Tour.

The Dauphiné will be his last stop before heading to the Grand Depart in Florence, and his performance here will go a long way toward determining whether or not he has a realistic chance of winning his first Tour de France. And his BORA-hansgrohe team is stacked, with basically all the riders we expect to support the Slovenian at the Tour joining him at the start, including Australia’s Jai Hindley, who won a stage and spent a day in the yellow jersey in last year’s Tour de France–and won the 2022 Giro d’Italia .

Remco Evenepoel (Soudal–Quick-Step)

Evenepoel was another victim of the Basque crash that took down Vingegaard and Roglič–the Belgian broke his right clavicle and scapula. That wiped out the rest of his spring program, but now he’s healed and back on his bike–and reports say that his training is going well. Like most competitors, the Dauphiné will be the Belgian’s last test before the Tour. He’s likely targeting the time trial–he’s the reigning world champion in the discipline–but we’re more eager to see how he fares against the other contenders on the summit finishes at the end of Stages 6, 7, and 8. We’re also curious to see how his team–which has traditionally been built more for one-day classics–handles itself against proven stage race squads like BORA, Visma, and INEOS.

Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers)

Rodríguez finished ninth overall and won the white jersey as the Best Young Rider in last year’s Dauphiné, an impressive ride that perhaps should have been more hyped (blame jumbo-Visma’s dominance for that). But his performance turned out to be a sneak preview of what the Spaniard would do at the Tour, where he finished fifth overall and won a stage in the mountains.

Just 23 years old, Rodríguez has continued to improve throughout the spring: he finished second at Itzulia Basque Country and then won the Tour de Romandie, his first WorldTour stage race victory. Assuming he’s saving his best for the Tour, we’re expecting another top-10–possibly top-5–finish at the Dauphiné, which would make him a true podium contender in July.

Sepp Kuss (Visma–Lease a Bike)

With Vingegaard uncertain about riding the Tour de France following his crash, Kuss might end up being Visma’s GC captain, a stunning turn of events for a rider who spent much of last season as a support rider–at least until he took a surprise win at the Vuelta a España in September.

The American has had a quiet season so far, racing just a handful of times and spending the majority of his time at training camps. In fact, the Dauphiné will be the first time raced since the Itzulia Basque Country in early April. His performance will give us at least a hint as to whether or not he has the legs to be a true podium contender at the Tour.

Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates)

Ayuso joins Rodríguez at the forefront of a new generation of young, Spanish grand tour contenders. Just 21 years old, he already has two top-5 finishes at the Vuelta a España , including a third-place finish in 2022. Like Rodríguez, he seems to get better with every race he enters–he took second at Tirreno-Adriatico and fifth at the Tour of Romandie. And like Rodríguez, the Spaniard also won his first WorldTour stage this spring–the Tour of the Basque Country. And while he’s heading to the Tour to support Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar , we’re expecting him to be racing for himself at the Dauphiné–which could be bad news for the race’s other contenders.

Matteo Jorgenson (Visma–Lease a Bike)

If an American does win this year’s Critérium du Dauphiné, don’t be surprised if it’s Jorgenson, a 24-year-old who was born in Walnut Creek, California but grew up in Boise, Idaho. After spending the first few seasons of his WorldTour career with Movistar, Jorgenson transferred to Visma-Lease a Bike this past off-season and has since taken a major step forward, winning his first WorldTour stage race–Paris-Nice-and his first major one-day Classic–Dwars door Vlaanderen.

His last event was the Amstel Gold Race in mid-April, and he’s spent the past six weeks training for the Tour de France. And with Kuss likely biding his time for the Tour de France, there’s a good chance that he’ll be given the chance to try and win the Dauphiné before taking on more of a supporting role at the Tour. Visma has only scratched the surface of Jorgenson's potential, and this could be the race in which he takes another big step forward in his development as a rider.

The eight-day mini-Tour de France begins this Sunday with a 174.8 km stage and features top contenders, diverse stages, and the iconic Yellow Leader’s Jersey.

The (Other) Winners of the 2024 Giro d’Italia

Sure, Tadej Pogačar put together a legendary performance at the Giro—but who and what else stood out?

107th giro d'italia 2024 stage 21

The 107th Giro d’Italia wrapped up on Sunday in Rome with Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) taking home the maglia rosa (“pink jersey”) as the overall winner of the Italian grand tour.

Pogačar started the final week with a sizable lead: 6:41 ahead of Great Britain’s Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers) and 6:56 ahead of Colombia’s Daniel Martínez (BORA-hansgrohe). But the Slovenian left nothing to chance, winning Stages 16 and 20 to extend his lead even further.

By the time the dust had settled, the two-time Tour de France champion had won the General Classification by almost 10 minutes. Martínez ended the race in second-place overall, 9:56 behind Pogačar; and Thomas, who finished second overall in last year’s Giro, ended the race in third, 10:24 behind the Slovenian. To put things into perspective, Pogačar’s winning margin was the largest since 1965.

Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates squad dominated the race from start to finish–perhaps even more emphatically than most expected. The Slovenian wore the maglia rosa for 20 days, falling one day short of taking the Giro’s first wire-to-wire victory since 1990. He won six stages, the most by anyone since Alessandro Petacchi won nine sprint stages in 2004 and the most ever by an overall winner. Even Belgian legend Eddy Merckx–who won the race five times–never won more than five stages in a single Giro. And with five of his six stage wins coming in the mountains, it comes as no surprise that Pogačar also won the maglia azzurra (“blue jersey”) as the Giro’s King of the Mountains.

Simply put: this was the greatest Giro performance by a single rider in the modern era– and maybe ever. The 25-year-old was far and away the best rider in this year’s race, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.

Now the Slovenian has his sights set on the Tour de France, where he will most likely enter the race as the top contender. His goal in winning a third Tour de France is to become the first rider since 1998 to win the Giro and the Tour in the same season. And after his Giro performance–and given the fact that the Tour’s two-time defending champion, Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), might not be healthy enough to start the Tour–we’re not betting against him.

Here’s a look at some of the other “ winners” from the 107th Giro d’Italia:

107th giro d'italia 2024 stage 15

Daniel Martínez (BORA-hansgrohe)

Thanks to Pogačar, the Giro quickly became a race for second, and credit goes to Martínez for scoring his first podium finish in a grand tour. The Colombian–who came to BORA from INEOS during the off-season–rode a near-flawless race after climbing into the top-3 on Stage 2 and then never leaving it.

Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers)

Thomas–who turned 38 on Saturday–finished second to Roglič last year after losing the maglia rosa in a mountain time trial on the penultimate day. Like Martínez, the Welshman raced into the top-3 on the General Classification on Stage 2 and then never left it; his dogfight with the Colombian was one of the race’s more interesting storylines once Pogačar had pulled away from the field.

A podium finish in a grand tour is a career achievement at any age, but at 38, it’s really something special. Then again, for Thomas–who’s probably the most consistent stage racer in the sport–it’s just another day at the office.

Thomas is retiring at the end of the season, but first he’s joining Pogačar and Martínez at the Tour de France, a race he won back in 2018. He’s not expected to lead the team, though. Instead he’ll join Spain’s Carlos Rodriguez and Colombia’s Egan Bernal as some sort of three-headed GC-monster that will attempt to use its strength and experience to try and upset the Tour’s more favored contenders.

topshot cycling ita giro

Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek)

For the second year in a row, Italy’s Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) won the maglia ciclamino (“cyclamen jersey”) as the winner of the Giro’s Points Classification. While not quite as impressive as Pogačar, the 23-year-old won four stages–and finished second in four others–to run away with the competition for the second year in a row.

We’re not sure if the statuesque Italian (he’s about 6’3”) will be riding the Tour de France this summer. But if he does, he could give Belgium’s Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck)–who won four stages and the Points Classification in last year’s Tour–a run for his money.

Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain-Victorious)

Prior to this year’s Giro d’Italia, Tiberi was known more for something he did off the bike–and it wasn’t very good. In early 2023, the Italian killed his neighbor’s cat with an air rifle and was subsequently fired by Trek-Segafredo, the team he was riding for at the time. After some time passed, Bahrain-Victorious signed the then-21-year-old and gave him a chance to resume his career and re-shape his image.

Well, in finishing fifth overall and taking home the maglia bianca (“white jersey”) as the Giro’s Best Young Rider, Tiberi has put himself squarely on the radar of his nation’s rabid fans. A gifted climber, he’s possesses two additional traits that might make him a future Giro champion: he’s a talented time trialist–he finished sixth in both ITTs in this year’s race; and he’s got a bit of swagger–Pogačar complimented Tiberi for being the only one willing to attack the Slovenian during the first week.

The 22-year-old is heading straight to France’s Critérium du Dauphiné–which starts this weekend–where he’ll see if he has enough form left to challenge some of the Tour’s top pre-race contenders. Then he’ll rest before tackling the Vuelta a España in late-August. If everything goes as planned, Tiberi will enter next year’s Giro as a top contender, a rider who could possibly win the host nation its first maglia rosa since 2016.

107th giro d'italia 2024 stage 21

Italian Tifosi

Italian cycling tifosi or “fans” haven’t had much to cheer about in the past few years, as the nation’s been experiencing a bit of a dry spell when it comes to producing riders capable of winning grand tours like the Giro d’Italia or Monuments like Milan-San Remo. But if this year’s Giro is any indication, that could be changing soon.

Obviously, Milan–a future world class sprinter–and Tiberi–a potential pink jersey contender–lead the way, but Italians also loved the gutsy ride from Giulio Pellizzari, a 20-year-old who rides for the small VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè team, one of a few squads to receive wild card invitations to this year’s race.

The youngest rider in the race, Pellizzari attacked relentlessly in the mountains, coming close to winning a stage on more than one occasion and even impressing Pogačar, who gifted the Italian his sunglasses and his maglia rosa after the Slovenian defeated the Italian to win Stage 16.

He ended the race as the runner-up in the Giro’s King of the Mountains competition, which meant he earned the right to wear the maglia azzurra into Rome–because Pogačar couldn’t wear two leaders’ jerseys at once. And even better, Pellizzari’s performance caught the eye of several WorldTour squads, with rumors swirling as to which team will sign the talented young climber to a big contract this off-season.

107th giro d'italia 2024 stage 12

Soudal-Quick Step

The Belgian WorldTour squad had a terrible spring, coming up short in cobbled Classics like the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, events that the team once dominated. To make matters worse, the team’s marquee rider, Remco Evenepoel, crashed out of the Tour of the Basque Country, which prevented the Belgian superstar from going for a third-straight win in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, a victory that would have salvaged the team’s spring campaign.

But the team rebounded at the Giro, winning four stages. Belgium’s Tim Merlier led the way with three sprint victories–including the final stage into Rome.

But Julian Alaphilippe’s Stage 12 victory was easily the team’s most popular victory. The one-time “galactico” has had a rough couple of seasons and has since fallen out with his team’s outspoken General Manager, Patrick Lefevere . But after spending three weeks as one of the Giro’s most aggressive riders, Alaphilippe seems to have regained the swashbuckling spirit that won the French puncheur back-to-back world championships in 2020 and 2021.

Alaphilippe wasn’t slated to ride the Tour de France, but there are rumors that his Giro performance might help him make the team. And if it didn’t, it at least helped his asking price: with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, there are several French teams looking to sign him.

107th giro d'italia 2024 stage 21

Colnago bicycles have been ridden by some of cycling’s most famous champions. But the iconic Italian brand hasn’t stood on the top step of the Giro’s podium since Russia’s Denis Menchov (Rabobank) won the race back in 2009. Well, that’s all changed thanks to Pogačar, who ended the brand’s 15-year Giro drought with his victory.

The company might want to sign Pogačar to a lifetime contract , as the Slovenian seems to be a lucky talisman for the legendary brand. His 2020 Tour de France victory was Colnago’s first–a bit of a surprise for a company that once supplied bikes to Merckx. Then again, maybe it’s time to get used to Pogačar doing things that even Merckx–who’s widely considered to be the greatest men’s cyclist of all time–could not.
