It's not a novelty, since Pippo has been introducing this recognition for bicycle brands in his races since last year, but it certainly deserves praise nonetheless. Placing the athlete and his means of transportation on equal footing, the bicycle with which riders have achieved victory and their respective placements is more than justified. Borrowed from motorsports? Yes. This doesn't mean Pippo Pozzato shouldn't receive his well-deserved applause: bicycles carry their own sporting and competitive weight. They enable Covi, Charing and Cosnefroy to reach the podium, but this is only possible thanks to technical equipment up to the task: in this case Giant, Ridley and Colnago.
