Rome, 8 December 2024 - After weeks of uncertainty, a few days ago the Giro d'Italia 2025 knows the date on which his path will be known to the public: the 13 January 2025 all 'Ennio Morricone Music Park Auditorium di Rome the route of the next race will be revealed Corsa pink and Giro d'Italia Women 2025. Of course, the situation of the hypothetical startlist is even more nebulous, but a clue is provided between the lines Patrick Lefebvre.  

Lefevere's statements

The head of the Soudal Quick Step first of all provided an initial estimate of the recovery times of Remco Evenepoel after the training accident at Eating of the last few days. "He reported 5 injuries several, including the injury to the ligaments of the scapula which required surgery and which will now require time for complete recovery: the doctors speak of 8 weeks without a bike". An eternity for athletes of this level, but it happened in a period still far from the competitions. In this regard, Lefevere after what happened to his pupil in Flemish Brabant, that is, the impact with the open door of a postal van, does not go too far, although it does reveal a veiled optimism, especially for spring. "Remco It should be at one in Paris-Nice e Tirreno-Adriatico".
