Rome, 10 February 2025 - With Tadej pogacar, whether in competition or out, surprises are always around the corner: the first one arrived a few days ago together with the opening, at least partial to the hypothesis Giro d'Italia 2025, with the choice of the ballot still underway with the 2025 lap postponed until after the season Classics.

It is difficult to know if the moment has arrived: for now we are content, and that is no small thing, with the footage of Tim Wellens, who immortalized the most popular rider of the moment on the most iconic cobbled stretch of cycling. It is not yet the time for racing and in particular forHell of the North, scheduled Sunday April 13, but in the meantime dreaming is more than permitted.
