Rome, 18 March 2025 - La Tirreno-Adriatico 2025 it's now archived: he wins Juan Ayuso front Filippo Gana e Antonio Tiberi. The Piedmontese himself, thanks to a sparkling form, has vigorously relaunched his candidacy in view of the Milan-Sanremo 2025, scheduled Saturday March 22: the same cannot be said of Mathieu van der Poel, In which Race of the Two Seas, intentionally or not, he hid himself a bit without moving the crosshairs from the dream Very classic.

Milan-Sanremo 2025, Van Der Poel's favourites

Intercepted by the microphones of Spouse, the Dutchman implicitly confirmed the different weight given to the two commitments on Italian soil. "One more victory for the Tirreno-Adriatico it wouldn't have enriched my memorabilia much. The most important thing, also considering the weather we encountered during the race, is that I feel good. I needed all this for the Classics. Clearly, it was a shame not to be able to win a stage: I had some good days where I came close, but unfortunately I was not able to complete the mission". Tirreno-Adriatico seems to have changed the list of possible favorites a lot. "Among all those who have been seen in action in these days, I would mention Ganna, who had already shown that he had good potential for victory. Then at the Paris-Nice I saw a great one Mads pedersen, in addition to the usual Tadej pogacar, which is impossible not to consider". The intervention of the runner of theAlpecin-Deceuninck he closes by talking about how his last days of finishing his preparation will go. "I'll mainly rest and try to stay active with some training. I already feel ready for what's to come."

Sponsorship changes within Alpecin-Deceuninck

The team of the son and grandson of art is preparing to experience an important change at the end 2025: at the end of the current season, the Deceuninck in fact it will interrupt its relationship as co-main sponsor. The Belgian company, specialized in doors and windows, actually entered the cycling scene in 2019 to support the Quick-Step. Then, in the 2022, the transition to theAlpecin, for a partnership that has done well in terms of numbers, victories and visibility. In the last year, however, something has cracked, perhaps due to the construction crisis, and so Deceuninck saw a decrease in profits 4,5% which evidently did not go well with such a heavy financial commitment. The brand, however, despite financial support reduced to the bare minimum, will remain on the shirts of the men's and women's teams. The 'sponsor market' also sees the Ineos Grenadiers, which is looking for a new partner for the future: something in this direction seems to be moving with the brand TotalEnergies, which has already been present in cycling for years.
