Italy name their nine-man Worlds road race team
Italian national selector Davide Cassani has confirmed the nine riders that will wear the maglia azzurra in the men’s World Championship road race on Sunday. The sprinter-heavy line-up includes Elia Viviani, Diego Ulissi, Daniele Bennati, Matteo Trentin and Giacomo Nizzolo. Vincenzo Nibali could provide a wildcard option for the team with Manuel Quinziato playing road captain and Daniel Oss and Fabio Felline in support roles.
Sonny Colbrelli and Salvatore Puccio, who have travelled to Richmond with the team, will be reserves. Italy have not won a medal in the elite men’s road race since the 2008 World Championships in Verese, when Alessandro Ballan won the rainbow jersey. On Wednesday, Adriano Malori took the country’s second medal with silver in the time trial discipline after Andrea Chiurato won silver in 1994.
