« At the end of 2021 I was invited in Ortona to announce the new collaboration between Intermarché-Circus-Wanty and Vini Zabù. It was a proud moment for myself to welcome the Sciotti family in our team, after spending one year in an Italian team with Vini Zabù as title sponsor. It is of great value for our team to be able to rely on partners as them, who carry cycling in their hearts. The start in Pescara brings an additional dimension to our motivation to give the best of ourselves and to show our new jersey. »
« My form in this period of the year has never been better. In my preparation I’ve done everything I wanted to do. My good feeling in Eschborn-Frankfurt confirmed that I will start my fourth Tour of Italy in top shape. During the first two weeks there are quite a lot of stages which suit me. With the team we will see the situation day by day and alternate, to go full for the highest possible result with a certain rider in each stage. Personally, I pay attention to the stage towards Bergamo, the city in which I arew up. This fifteenth stage gives me an additional incentive. But I don’t plan to wait so long to show myself! »
« We’re proud to wear new colors on the occasion of the 106th Giro d’Italia. Last year, our special ‘Vini Zabù’ edition shone on the Italian roads. I’m convinced that this jersey will bring us the same success. We’re pleased to start in Abruzzo, a region in which passion for cycling, brilliantly maintained by the Sciotti family, and wine territory, successfully promoted by the Fantini house, go hand in hand. We aim to show ourselves in the next three weeks and to wear the colors of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty and Vini Zabù with pride. »
« We are deeply grateful to Intermarché-Circus-Wanty and its big family of partners for the opportunity to present this special jersey on the occasion of an event such as the Giro, which is so important for us. This edition is even more special with the first stage taking place in our region, arriving in our city Ortona. We found in Intermarché-Circus-Wanty a fantastic family who shares the same passion for this sport. »
