Mauro Vegni: “Filippo Ganna will not be enough for blue cycling.”

Giro d’Italia director to Sportal.it: “Filippo Ganna is great but in the common imagination, important riders are those who win Giro, Tour and Vuelta”

Mauro Vegni, director of the Giro d’Italia, in an interview with Sportal.it on the sidelines of the presentation of the Tour of the Alps 2023 talking about the difficulties of Italian cycling orphaned by Vincenzo Nibali spent some words for Filippo Ganna: “Ganna is definitely a big name and he will go to the Giro, but in people’s common imagination the important riders are those who win Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta of Spain, and Filippo is not suitable for that.”

“He will impress us with his exploits, he is great, he won all five time trials in the Giro, world champion, but he cannot win a stage race.”
