Speaking during the presentation of the GM Cycling Team in Chieti, an interested Davide Cassani spoke to 360 ° of movement about the season that will begin shortly. Between the lines we read that he has so much confidence in the pillars of Italian cycling, but also hopes that young people can soon reach an important level.
"The program is rich, because this year we decided to bring to life the National team not only one day a year, but more days” - said the Italian technical director - “January 15, we will leave for the Tour de San Luis with a national team mixed with Under 23, who will participate in several races early in the season, then there will be the European Games in Baku in June, the pre-Olympics in Rio on August 16 and then of course the World Championship."
"I expect to see young people grow, indeed I hope so - added the former rider - Let's not forget that last year was an important year, because we won the Tour (with Vincenzo Nibali, ed) and all those who speak of a crisis in Italian cycling should mention that we won the most important race, I do not see where is this great crisis.”
A crisis does not exist, therefore according to the technical director, as confirmed by the numbers, they would say the opposite exacted: "Out of 120 riders, in 2015, less than 41 have less than 25 years and among them are many promises. I hope to bring the Italian national team to good results, at a good level, because I think the quality is there, you just give it a chance to grow well."
