Among the possible protagonists of the World Championship in Zurich is Marc Hirschi . The Swiss, who is playing at home, would like to surprise the favorite Tadej Pogacar, his opponent next Sunday, but teammate in the UAE Team Emirates . Hirshi has shown to be in great shape, and in the last two months he has won five races: the Clasica San Sebastian 2024, the Bretagne Classic 2024, the Gp Industria&Artigianato 2024, the Coppa Sabatini 2024 and the Memorial Pantani 2024 , happy for the choice of not having participated in the Vuelta .

“I had some difficult moments in the past years,” Hirschi told In de Leiderstrui. “But now I’m enjoying myself again. And I hope I can show in the next races that I’m in great shape, also because I’ve been in good shape for a while.

The team's plan was to have me do the Vuelta a España 2024, but I chose not to go, because it would have been difficult to prepare me adequately for the World Championships. In this team, you don't have freedom of movement when you're at a Grand Tour, especially if one of your teammates is first in the standings. The risk was that of spending too much on others, so I preferred to do a period of good training. In 2024, I trained a lot and spent a lot of time at altitude. Furthermore, I selected the races I took part in, reducing the days of racing. Then, I trained more on long distances and I was lucky enough to always be healthy: so, I was able to work well".

Hirschi costs 26 fantamillions in Fantacycling and could be a great opportunity to strengthen your team without spending too much. A good choice also in the World Championship League , where you can participate with only one euro and ninety-nine cents, with the possibility of receiving fantastic gifts.
