Inside the push to bring glucose monitors into the pro peloton
The UCI currently forbids the use of continuous glucose monitors in competition. Insiders are pushing back on the ban – is that a good or bad thing?
Team analysis by Bernard Thévenet, two time winner of the Tour de France.
Vingegaard Of Course!
Weary of his bad luck in the Tour, Primož Roglič has opted for the Giro and has left defending champion Jonas Vingegaard in total charge.
I don’t think that this will be hard for the Dane to deal with because this team leaves nothing to chance. He will bear the pressure of being the defending champion, but his team is very strong, with Wout van Aert, who will retain some freedom and can compete for another green jersey, Christophe Laporte, Steven Kruijswijk, Sepp Kuss and Tiesj Benoot.
In 2022, the team was competitive on all fronts and seized its opportunities. Opting not to wait for others to fail is a winning strategy.
