Kalapas leads the 2022 Ring Italy complete roster

Overview

One of the first features of this year's race is the departure in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and the first three stages are in Hungary. After the first three stages, the plane will transfer back to Sicily at the southern tip of Italy to continue the fourth stage, after which it will travel all the way north in Italy and finally to the northern town of Verona.

In terms of data, the total mileage is 3445.6 kilometers, the altitude climb is 50580 meters, and the total number of 21 stages includes a total of two individual time trials with climbing sections at the beginning and one tail; and according to the difficulty of climbing, it can be divided into 7 low-difficulty stages (basic flat road), 7 medium-difficulty stages and 5 high-difficulty stages (that is, the traditional mountain stages).

Compared with last year, the mileage of this year's tour of the Tour de Yi's individual time trial is only 9.2 + 17.4 = 26.6 kilometers, which is shorter, resulting in a smaller chance of turning things around by relying solely on individual time trials; and the altitude climb of 50580 meters is nearly 3600 meters more than last year, leaving more room for climbers to play in theory; there are about 6 to 8 stages suitable for flat sprinters, and from this point of view, sprinters have more opportunities than last year.

To sum up, Xiaobian believes that this year's track design will be more balanced and reasonable than last year, but there is not much change.

history

Giro d'Italia was founded by the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, the first tournament was held in 1909 and is now its 105th edition in 2022; the race is currently operated by RCS Sport and is one of the three major tour events in the road cycling world today (the other two are the Tour de France and the Tour de la Ciudad, both owned and operated by aso Sport), The history of the three major Tour de La Tour de France is later than that of the famous Tour de France. The main color of the event IP is pink, which is also the theme color corresponding to the Milan Sports Newspaper at that time.

Last year's 2021 overall title was won by Egan Bernal of the Ineos team – well deserved, but Bernal's path to the top was more like fighting himself all the way than with his opponents – because Bernal had been carrying expectations and pressures before that and had not really achieved results for a long time. Therefore, the 2021 Tour de Italy championship can be called Bernal's self-redemption and proof road to some extent.

Full list of participating teams and drivers

First of all, this year's list of participants is missing many stars, such as last year's champion Bernal (a serious fall in training in the second half of last year is still in the recovery stage), last year's runner-up Caruso, Italy's pride, time trial king Ganna, Belgian multi-habitat superstar Van Alte, etc., combined with the lineup of various teams, everyone seems to pay special attention to this year's ring; but on the bright side, this also makes the race situation very open, and any team and individual has a chance. If there's one favorite to win the title, it's only Richard Carapaz of inex.

Ineos

The Ineos team's line-up is clearly centred on Calapas.

There are three former champions in this year's ring, namely Kalapas, Di Mulan and Nibali, the 2017 champion Di Mulan, who retired and returned, did not show signs of returning to the peak before the performance of the game; and the 2016 champion Nibali is obviously far from the peak state and is unlikely to have the hope of competing for the championship of the overall result; and in Kalapas, the joint attack with Iquita in Catalonia at the beginning of the year is amazing, and it can be said that it is momentum.

In addition to Kalapas, the composition of the invigosian team can be said to be very balanced, including the promising young people Ben Swift, Sivakov, Bentalett, as well as the experienced Richport, CastroViejo, etc., and considering that Ineos is also the winner of the first two Editions of Italy (Taughart is the 2020 Tour of Italy champion, Bernard is the 2021 Tour of Italy champion), so in any way, Carapas and Ineos team can be said to be the biggest favorite to win the Tour of Italy.

AG2R

There was little hope of competition in the overall result, and the team looked more interested in replicating the stage victories of Nam Pete and Wendrame in the past Tour de Italy.

Astana

The 2016 Tour de Italy winner, the 37-year-old Nibali, is Italy's glory and a true legend in today's car – but realistically, Nibali's form is far from the peak of that year and is unlikely to achieve his fifth Grand Tour d'Or victory; but as the most experienced player in the team, he is perfectly capable of providing valuable guidance to younger juniors such as López and Dombrovski.

Despite the unpleasant experience with the Moving Star, the young Colombian driver López has been in a good position since last year, and he is likely to "take over" the banner of Nibali and at least win a stage for the team; on the other hand, can Dombrovski, who won the stage championship last year, have a "historical reenactment"?

Bahrain wins

Although Landa will undoubtedly be the core, fans familiar with the past performances of the Bahrain Victory Team know that this team has a saying called "the Lord will sacrifice to heaven".....

Landa belongs to a driver who is in a more erratic state, quite strong when in good shape, and well when in bad shape....

Outside of Landa, Bilbao, Phil Bowhaus, Waterpulse, Jan Trattnik all have strong solo ability, and winning the championship may be unlikely, but it is not a big problem to fight for the next stage.

Bora

If the Grand Tour is like playing cards, Bora is probably the team with the most abundant hand – Kördman, Buchmann, and Hindley all have considerable GC capabilities.

As for who will be the GC commander in the actual competition, from the historical record, Hindley is the runner-up in the overall results in 2020, and from this point of view, Hindley is more likely to be the established main player - but Hindley's state this year is more average; Kerdeman is the third place in the 2020 Tour de Italy overall; Buchman's GC record in other competitions is more comprehensive.

So The Bora team may have an attitude similar to the three core lineups of the Mobile Star of the year, taking one step at a time in the race.

Kofidis

Guillaume Martin has been growing up with the expectations of French fans for many years, and The Cofidies, a team of French descent, will undoubtedly do its best to support Guillaume Martin in the overall result, not to mention the championship, at least a high GC ranking.

EF Education

With his performances in various Grand Tour events in recent years, as well as his most recent performances at the Alps, Hugh Kassi is well qualified to be a favourite GC driver for this year's Tour de La Tour de Las America.

In addition to this, there is reason to believe that Cotter will want to achieve a stage victory to meet his "three major tour stage victories" achievement.

FDJ

Judging by the results, Demar's form over the past two years has been quite frightening, and given that Demar currently has a background of 5 Tour de Italy stage victories, there is reason to believe that the FDJ, a French team, will fully support Demar to fight for more wins.

Vandy

Vanti has performed well this season, and the highlight of this season is naturally Gilmay's victory in Ghent – the first five classic victories in history by a black athlete.

Another noteworthy outside of Gilmai is Pozovivo, who will be the hope of the Vanti team's overall results front.

Israel Botai

Nizzolo's competitiveness on the sprint front is strong, as an Italian he was also the sprint king of the 2015 and 2016 Rings, so he will definitely go to the stage to win - but his top two opponents are Cavendish and Ivan, and the sprint line will be very interesting at that time.

treasure

Jumbo is one of the top teams in all the contemporary World Tour racing teams, but the lineup of this year's Tour de Jumbo is a bit awkward - first of all, Di Mulan, as the 2017 Tour de Italy champion, naturally has to be expected to have a total result; but since his retirement and comeback, Di Mulan's competitive state is not very good - perhaps depends on the actual performance in the race, step by step.

Lotto

First of all, the core of the team must be Ivan's sprint front - Ivan, one of the top sprinters in today's car industry, currently has a record of 5 wins in the Ring, and Ivan has a good chance to increase this number this year.

However, Ivan has made it clear that he will participate in the following Tour de France, and referring to his approach last year, he is likely to voluntarily retire from the tournament immediately after completing the Tour de France goal to recuperate and prepare for the Tour de France.

Moving Star

Spanish legend "Bar god" Valverde (who has also been an idol for many years) will be his last participation in the Ring of Hearts – it may sound sad, but Valverde's record since this season shows that he can still play very well, and even make people wonder if it will be a reason for him to continue his career again - but according to Valverde, retiring after this season should really be a foregone conclusion.

quickstep

Cavendish + Morkov, this combination can be seen at a glance that The Quick Step is holding expectations (or testing?). Rushing to the sprint line.

Cavendish currently has 15 Rings, but the last time he won them was in 2013 – but that's largely because he hasn't played in Them since 2013. This time back in the Tour de Italy, Cavendish will also be supported by the well-known band rusher Morkov, and Cavendish will undoubtedly compete with Ivan for stage victory and sprint king purple shirt.

As for why Cavendish was placed in the Ring of Italy instead of the Tour de France, this news was also widely discussed by car fans when it came out, but that was another topic.

Green Blade/Bike Trading

Simon Yates will undoubtedly take on the task of the GC's main player, with excellent historical records, the third overall result of the 2021 Ring Italy, and fully capable of keeping up with the attack of any climber big guy on the mountain road, making Simon Yates a big GC favorite in this year's Ring Italy.

DSM

Like Guillaume Martin, Romain Badé carries one of the GC expectations of French car fans, after all, the Frenchman has not won the championship of the overall results of the Ring of Italy for nearly 30 years; and unlike the "young man" Guillaume Martin who participated in the Ring of Italy for the first time, Romain Badai's record and experience are obviously much thicker, and last year in 2021, the Tour de Las Alpes achieved the overall championship, and the state of the year is even better this year.

DSM will undoubtedly support Romain Badei's GC dream, but at the same time the team also has multiple hands to compete for the stage.

Choco

Chicone will be at the heart of The Trico Team, and as a prominent figure in Italy's youth, Chicone has a reason to compete for the next step in his record in the Rings – the Team even made him a short film to promote his Dream of Rings.

In addition, Moraema will presumably go all out to compete for a stage victory to complete his "three major Tour 100" achievements.

Emirates

Emirates' team will be dominated by Almeida – both historical and recent, and with a strong teamline, Almeida will be a major GC favourite in this year's Tour d'Italia; and the team has even allocated oliveira and former world champion Rui Costa, two Portuguese compatriots, to assist the young and promising Almeida.

Outside of Almeida, Gaviria is definitely going to compete for the sprint front, and he has done well so well this season that can be expected.

Obechin

As the number one seat of the outer truck team, Whether within or outside the ring, Obel-Ching's combat effectiveness is even stronger than some World Tour racing teams.

First of all, as the team's number one traffic superstar, Van de Puer, who won two important classical races across Flanders and the Ring of Flanders a month ago, can be said to be in the year of the fight, although he is unlikely to fight purely in the mountain stage and the real climber bayonet, or in the flat stage and the real pure blood sprinter, there is basically no possibility of impacting the overall result, but as long as Van der Poul is present, the race will always be very interesting - Biao Is more likely to stage a good breakout attack.

In addition to Van der Pur, it is worth mentioning that for domestic fans, the "little horse brother" Maletsko - Maletsko's record after promotion to the World Tour level is not ideal, although occasionally there are podiums, but in the face of real top sprinters including Ivan, Cavendish and others, Maretzko basically has no chance.

Badiani

Then there are three Italian teams in the four wild truck teams - first of all, the mentality is correct, the three Italian wild truck teams are also very clear about their positioning, basically have no chance to compete for the ranking, so they all bring a lot of young people, such as badiani's eight-man list four are under 25 years old.

In addition, the core of Badiani's eight-man squad is believed to be Modolo - Modolo won two Tour de Italy stages in 2015 and the continental roundabout championship in the same year, and won eight stages in the mainland around Qinghai Lake in 2011 and 2013, the most prominent of the eight.

Androni

Androni team believes that the team is also based on the breakthrough attack, three of the eight are under 25 years old, but the editor noted that the black athlete Tesfatson from Eritrea in Africa is a two-time Tour de Rwanda championship, maybe this year can come to Eritrea in the European arena bloom?

Aolo

The number one of the teams formed by the Spanish legend "Master Contador" Is naturally the number one who won a stage in 2021 , Fortunato , when his winning scene made Contador in front of the TV set excited to the most exciting emoji series of the year, if you can achieve another stage victory in the Tour de Italy, it will be a huge success for the Aolo team.
