With Romain Bardet, Alexis Vuillermoz and Domenico Pozzovivo all on the roster, Ag2r go into the final Italian classics with big ambitions.
"I took a week off after the Vuelta because it was a challenging competition," Pozzovivo said. "However, I can assure you I have recovered well. Then, I was among the starters of a cyclosportive last week in order to stay in shape.
"The season’s final is really exciting and I cannot wait to ride one the Italian classics. Moreover, we will have an amazing team for Il Lombardia with Romain (Bardet) and Alexis (Vuillermoz). The latter is definitely in great shape after his Gevaudan victory. That is why we have the possibility to be among the best riders in the final meters which is, for sure, an advantage for us."
