Giro del Veneto – Anthony Delaplace: “Mental strength and motivation are crucial at the end of the season”
The Giro del Veneto, alongside the Tour of Guangxi, marks the beginning of the final week of competition in Europe. With the Veneto Classic on Sunday, there is an opportunity for riders to finish the season on a high note.
For the Giro del Veneto, it is believed that a sprinter who can handle the challenges of the final circuit may win in a small group, despite the finish being judged at the top of an 800-meter, 8% climb. This provides an opportunity for both sprinters-puncheurs and pure puncheurs. With a strong team, several cards are available to them. According to Anthony Delaplace, the team has multiple options for different scenarios.
Delaplace stated, “That’s why we have several cards up our sleeves: Jenthe Biermans, Luca Mozzato and Hugo Hofstetter in the event of a small-committee sprint, or Kévin Vauquelin, Matîs Louvel, Simon Guglielmi and Anthony Delaplace if the race is made more difficult.”
As the season comes to a close, mental strength and motivation become even more crucial. Delaplace emphasized, “At the end of the season, mental strength and motivation make all the difference.” These factors will play a significant role in determining the outcome of the Giro del Veneto.
With a strong team lineup and a focus on mental toughness, Delaplace and his teammates are prepared to face the challenges and strive for a successful end to the season at the Giro del Veneto.
