Desperately sad to say that my friend Gianni Savio has passed away. There’s a lot to add - about his remarkable career, the riders he launched towards greatness, the laughs he & I shared over 20 years & hundreds of chats - but for now my thoughts are with his wife & daughters.

Just further to this, don’t expect INEOS to try to ‘replace’ Pidcock with some kind of last-minute signing. Despite him attending team meeting at Old Trafford a few weeks ago, feeling even then was he’d be gone. Riders/staff weren’t surprised when they were informed. bsky.app/profile/frie...
Understand the Pidcock ‘divorce’ was relatively amicable in the end, despite the very onerous financial considerations. ‘Like a married couple who know they want different things,’ I was told by a source today. Destination not confirmed but everything points to team currently known as Q36.5.

Before we get into a froth about Prudhomme wanting to ‘slow racing down’ based on one pull-quote, it’s worth noting that he’s also said the onus is partly on course designers. See here in a 🇩🇪 interview from the summer. www.tour-magazin.de/profi-radspo...
