Felix Gall is ready to fight until the end for the victory of the Tour of the Alps, which will start this morning from San Lorenzo Dorsino.

Yesterday, at the press conference, the Austrian seemed more motivated than ever , in fact two of the five planned stages will be run in Austria and the last, decisive one, will have as its starting and finishing point Lienz, a town bordering his birthplace, all the more reason to do well among his people.

"I have prepared differently than the riders who will then do the Giro," admitted Gall, "but that doesn't mean I don't feel in great shape and I want to aim for the final victory , in a race that I love and that passes through my home streets."

Hindley , another rider present at the press conference, said that this race with many climbs is perfect for his characteristics and he will be the sole captain for Red Bull Bora.

Juan Pedro Lopez , the defending champion, has declared that he will try to defend the jersey he won in 2024, even if Lidl-Trek will have many cards at its disposal to aim for the general classification, including our Giulio Ciccone .
