Here we go, my version of the Giro d’Italia 2022’s Team Bikes and Riders presentation.
May 6th marks the start of the 105th edition of Giro d’Italia.
Starting from Budapest in Hungary.
During 21 days the race will cover a total of 3,445.6km and 50,580m of cumulative climbs so synonymous with the Giro to reach Verona in Italy.
Today I am writing about Jelle Wallays De Rosa Bike size.
Jelle has been very kind to let me know his bike setup. I am so grateful for this privilege and cannot thank Jelle enough for his disponibility.
The Belgian professional cyclist is racing with the French Team Cofidis since 2021.
Jelle Wallays lives in the western Flanders area, which explains why he can be considered a Flandrian rider. A tough rider used to race in the cold wind and rainy weather.
Jelle is a stage-winning hunter, not a General classification type of rider. He has fast sprinting top speed ability and is strong enough to win solo.
Wallays usually races most of the Frandrian classics with an incursion to the Paris-Roubaix. Then his second part of the season is the Vuelta a Espana.

This page focus on UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022. The prime purpose is to link each rider to his bike review as the season goes.
Needless to present, the team that won the Tour de France 2020 and 2021 with super talented Tadej Pogacar.
With more strong riders joining this year, the team will keep its winning streak.
After hiring George Bennett, Primoz Roglic lieutenant till 2021, Jao Almeida, and Marc Soler, UAE Team Emirates Cycling Team 2022 looks like the strongest team heading the Tour de France.
Looking at the team selection for the Tour de France and La Vuelta, I think UAE will win both Grand Tours with this configuration.
The team has also fine-tuned its sprinter’s team to support Fernando Gaviria with Pascal Ackermann and Felix Groß joining.

This page is committed to Cycling Team Trek – Segafredo 2022. I use it as a hub related to the team and will link each rider to his bike size review as the season goes on.
The team is strong on the Classics with specialists like Jasper Stuyven, Edward Theus, and Mads Pedersen.
For the Grand Tours, the team lacks a strong leader. There are excellent riders able to get into the top ten of the General Classification. I think of Julien Bernard, Kenny Elissonde, Bauke Mollema and Giulio Ciccone.
This year I look for the Eritrean rider, Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier, and the American Quinn Simmons to win some stages. They are gaining experience and confidence as they race.

This is the page dedicated to the Dutch Cycling Team DSM 2022. It serves as a hub to all the Men team riders and links to their bike size will be added as the season goes by.
Romain Bardet and his team mates are aiming for the podium on the Tour de France.
John Degenkolb has joined the team DSM in 2022 and will form a strong alliance along Søren Kragh Andersen on the classics and on the Tour de France.
