Fabio Aru showed that we could count on him and he was one of the most promising riders in the peloton. He is now thinking about the next season. He hopes to shine again on the Giro di Italia. The young rider from Sardinia is working his time trial position in order to compete with Alberto Contador. Indeed, during the 2015 Giro, there will be a 59 kilometer individuel time trial between Treviso and Valdobbiadene.
"I’ve got to improve my time trialling because that stage will be vital in the Giro. 2015 represents a new start for me. I don't want to look back because what I've done is in the past. The past is in the past", Aru told Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Astana coach Maurizio Mazzoleni told about the time trial training, according to the Italian newspaper. "It's clear that Fabio has to improve his time trialling. His training schedule includes a weekly TT session and not on a recovery day. He's got to do specific, quality work. We've found a circuit in Brianza near his home so he can do time trial motor pacing."
"During the Astana camp in Calpe in early December, we'll go on the track in Alicante for more work so that we can combine the data from the wind tunnel work Fabio did in California with Specialized with practical data on the track. From that, we'll decide the specifics of his time trial training. Fabio has improved in time trials over the years, we've seen that in the time trials he's done at the Giro in 2013 and 2014 and at the Vuelta. He's young and still developing. We've got to work on everything: position, his muscle strength to hold an aero position and his strength at sub-maximal levels", he explained.
