As we approach the 2014 season, the objectives are clearer and expectations begin to be felt on the side of the riders, but also the staff. Daniele Bennati, who has had a season of ups and downs, it is important to keep the good memories in mind and get in shape for the new year.

On the website of the Saxo - Tinkoff, the Italian said: " My best moment was the Tour de France, I finally reached my peak form. We made a big collective effort and were able to fetch the team standings. Being on the podium on the Champs Elysées is amazing and it was a very emotional moment. I also remember the world championships in Tuscany, which was a memorable race."

As for the more negative points, Bennati underlines his difficult start to the season. "I had health problems and especially a concern in the shoulder and neck. My preparation for the spring was almost ruined because of it." 

In 2014, "the goal will be to fight for the victory in a classic and stay healthy all season in order to continue to help the team. The main purpose of the season? I will focus on winning the Tour de France with Alberto.”
