Bardiani – CSF Pro Team will start the month of March with the traditional one-day race GP Lugano, an 1.HC event of 194km.

Last year the Green Team did a super team performance, taking a 2nd place with Sonny Colbrelli, who went really close to the.win. He will join Enrico Battaglin who was third in 20122, in leading the Italian team which has mix of rouleurs and climbers.

”The entire team aim to achieve a great result at the start of the key month that will have its peak with Tirreno – Adriatico and Milano – Sanremo," sports director Mirko Rossato said. "The GP Lugano will be important to test our riders and make the right selections for these World Tour events. Our goal for Sunday will be to lead Colbrelli and Battaglin into the best positions in the final part. It’s a race where both of them have proved to be competitive in the last editions and so we’re really confident."
