Italian media are reporting that Filippo Pozzato is considering re-joining the Pro-Continental Southeast team next season with his contract ending with Lampre-Merida. The former Milan-San Remo winner has been linked to Tinkoff-Saxo and has options open for his next contract but is said to be considering the team of Angelo Citracca once again. Since joining the Lampre team in 2013, Pozzato has had a rather strained relationship with general manager Brent Copeland with little results and no victories to appease either party.
Citracca is hoping to unite the 34-year-old with Oscar Gatto at Southeast after the duo enjoyed the 2012 season together when Pozzato joined the Fini Varnese team from Katusha. The team manager though could end up without both riders with Gatto set to sign a deal with Tinkoff-Saxo this week and Pozzato yet to declare his hand.
