If you want proof of the power of social media in professional cycling, look no further than the latest chapter in the career of Argentinian cyclist Eduardo Sepulveda, now racing with Lotto-Dstny.

A part of the Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli squad in 2022, Sepulveda claimed the fourth win of his professional career on stage 4 of the Tour of Turkey, but he was left desperate to find a new team at season’s end as manager Gianni Savio was unable to find a sponsor with sufficient funds to keep the outfit operating at Pro Continental level.
