“The Giro has been my dream race since my childhood”
Antonio Tiberi first returned to RaiSport on the past season, that of the revelation for him: “My goal for next year is to improve a little bit more from this season. Until now, I have always managed to progress. I am constantly discovering new things and constantly pushing my limits. Winning the white jersey for best young rider at the Giro d'Italia was a highlight for me. It is, until now, the best victory of my career. This gave me immense satisfaction. The Giro has been my dream race since I was a child, and to finish fifth in my first participation… It's a dream come true.”
The Italian also talks about his main objectives for 2025: “The first part of my season will be focused on the Giro d'Italia. After the Giro, we will decide on the rest of the program. I would also like to take my revenge on the World Championship. This year, that did not happen went as I hoped. I probably arrived with too high expectations, but it was still a great experience. A world championship is a unique race: we are racing for the national team, and there is no radio communication. It was something new for me. Next year, I hope to be at the start of the World Cup in my best possible condition.” he concludes.
