Diego Ulissi loves the rumples

May 18, 2016 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

You did of course commit Diego Ulissi’s name to memory after he won stage four. Just as well really being as he won stage 11 as well. The Italian has now won 16 races in…

Diego Ulissi can still do hills – but can he do mountains?

May 10, 2016 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

I tipped Diego Ulissi as a rider to watch in 2014. He won a couple of stages of the Giro, but then took three too many puffs on his inhaler and found himself banned for…

Diego Ulissi briefly emerges from the inaction

May 16, 2015 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

May 18, 2014 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

His words, not mine. I wouldn’t dream of describing it that way being as he won. A fast finisher, Ulissi is an even better climber than I thought he was, for this was a proper…

May 15, 2014 · by Alex · in Giro d'Italia

I’m slightly annoyed at myself for not explicitly tipping Diego Ulissi for yesterday’s stage, despite having said that he might be worth watching this season. Or could I just say that the instruction to watch…

Diego Ulissi might be worth watching this season

January 22, 2014 · by Alex · in Stage races

Stage two didn’t thin out as I’d expected – 97 riders finished in the front group. In the grand scheme of things, they were racing for bonus seconds really. Simon Gerrans got a handful for…
