Filippo Zana is heading back to the Giro d’Italia 🇮🇹
The Italian is entering the final year of his contract in 2025 but ‘hopes to stay’ at Jayco
Good morning Subscribers,
We’re kicking off today with a short interview with Filippo Zana from Jayco AlUla. The Italian had a solid 2024 campaign and has designs on returning to the Giro d’Italia in 2025, where he’ll target stage wins. He’s out of contract at the end of this year too, so he’s certainly a rider to keep an eye on.
Later today, we’ll have an exclusive interview with Ashlin Barry on his move to Visma-Lease a Bike, and after that, we’ll run one of our exclusive interviews from the Team Picnic PostNL team camp that we attended at the end of December.

Filippo Zana may not have won a race in 2024, but the Italian was consistent throughout, scoring top-tens in several races and picking up his best-ever Grand Tour GC finish with 11th at the Giro d’Italia.
That result may not have set the world alight, but it was a demonstration of the Italian’s improving stature, especially because the 25-year-old went into the Giro d’Italia as a domestique and stage hunter. That plan shifted once Eddie Dunbar crashed out, and Jayco AlUla had to realign its strategy.
