February is practically over, for most the transfer market is completely closed. However, this does not seem to be the case for Domenico Pozzovivo, who in his insistence on continuing to compete is wasting his last cartridge with Israel-Premier Tech, which could well open the doors for him as he is someone who fits the demands of the structure.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that both parties are currently in negotiations, which should reach a final resolution in the following days. And incidentally it could be “final” also for the Italian, who if he does not manage to close the agreement, he will surely have to accept the withdrawal.
At the age of 40, he has been training ordinary with the hope of interest from a cast that guarantees him a level calendar. Similar to what she experienced last year, where in mid-February she managed to land at Intermarché. With the Israelis he can enjoy a WorldTour schedule, with the option of riding the Giro -his great lap of his choice- and demonstrate that validity that makes it inexplicable that today he does not have a contract.
In the last campaign he closed an 8th place in the Corsa Rosa, which ended up weighed down by a fall. In addition, his closing in the autumn classics was strong, with a 3rd drawer in Emilia -behind Mas and Pogacar- and the bad luck of falling in Lombardy when it could well be one of the surprises.
An experienced climber, a veteran -of those that Israel likes to sign so much- who can guarantee points that will help the Adams block return to the WorldTour and who, due to his consistency, can be the ideal man that the team has had so much trouble finding with Froome, Woods or Fuglsang.
