The eventual decision to hang up the bike would not be taken lightly by those who deep down still hope to race the Giro d'Italia 2025, still far away in the calendar but not so far away as to hope for a dramatic turn of events: even more so in light of the fact that practically all the teams, especially the top ones, are certain of being at the Corsa pink, their rosters are now full. Viviani but he is not a runner or a boy used to feeling sorry for himself or sitting around doing nothing, and so for several weeks now, in parallel with his training on the track, his old love, now more important than ever, has been carrying forward a process that could soon lead him to move to the other side, that of the desks and the team cars. The rumor of being able to support Marco Villa, ct of theItaly of the track, has existed for a long time, but today the situation becomes even more interesting because the road enters the scene. Everything is in the hands of the Federcycling, who in recent days toasted the reconfirmation of Cordiano Dagnoni as its president: the first idea leads to a Viviani road racers' ct with an eye on the track. In fact, speaking of appointments, the mandate of Daniele bennati as CT of the road and therefore the greatest suggestion would lead to the Veronese, also tempted by the Ineos GrenadiersThe British team has in fact let him go as a rider but could return to the charge in the coming months to include him in the management of their technical staff: a concrete hypothesis which however Viviani would only take into consideration in case of silence from the Federcycling, which has priority. Always assuming that the withdrawal option actually materialises in the meantime.

Simon Yates' statements

Meanwhile, the microphones of Cycling they intercepted Simon yates, who spoke about cycling today and yesterday. "Today everything is healthier and I have more fun than a few years ago, when we were always tired. Now, thanks to a different diet, everything has become easier. I have much more fun than before this carbohydrate boom arrived. Before, they were almost forbidden to us and this put a strain on the mind and body, which were always tired. After a workout I was destroyed and had to lie down in bed, while today you feel the fatigue in your legs but you also feel that you lack nothing". The rider of the Visma-Lease a Bike he concludes by giving some concrete examples. "Before, we consumed a lot of low-carb foods. We would take a couple of eggs and set off for hours-long training sessions with just water bottles. Today we have a hearty breakfast with rice and every hour we eat about 120 grams of carbohydrates".
