‘I feel reborn’ – Giulio Ciccone returns at Romandie after saddle sore surgery

Giulio Ciccone will make a belated start to his 2024 season at the Tour de Romandie next week after surgery on a saddle sore ruined the opening months of his campaign.

The Italian has already been ruled out of the Giro d’Italia, which had been his initial target for 2024, but his Lidl-Trek team has indicated that he will now ride both the Tour de France and Vuelta a España.
