Congrats π₯ π
Way to go Matteo! Fantastic to see a fellow American on the top of the overall podium!
Jumbo Visma πππ
Good for Matteo congrats! To bad it took joining that team, with those directors, those doctors and those doping protocols to get there. Isn't anybody else wondering why VISMA and UAE win every race that isn't decided in a sprint? Do all the other racers, directors, doctors, bikes and other equipment all suck?
I guess Visma LAB have 4 GC threats now. Vingo > Kuss > Matteo > Cian
Strange how losing RogliΔ hasn't been too much of a blow yet
Itβs crazy to hear him describe his experience,cycling is alive and well in the USA!!!
Great job! I bet he's going to do some good races in the classics.
Go to Jumbo Visma and all will be possible
