Bardiani-CSF is going to face a new important event of its 2016 season, the Tour de Pologne. The short stage race, from July 12 to 18, will be the sixth World Tour race for the Bardiani team.

Eight riders will be led by Reverberi and Stefano Zanatta. Sonny Colbrelli, who returns after a bout of pneumonia and knee problems suffered after the Giro d’Italia, will be the leading rider of the Bardiani team, followed by sprinter Nicola Ruffoni, the double stage winner from the Tour of Austria, and young talent Lorenzo Rota. Nicola Boem, Enrico Barbin and Alessandro Tonelli will be the breakaway hunters. Mirco Maestri and Paolo Simion complete the team.

“We’re happy with the results achieved so far and with the level of our performances. We have taken six victories and other important results, but we aim to grow more and more. Tour de Pologne is for sure one of the most important events of our season and a big chance to stand out. There will be strong competition for every stage - this must be the push to try and try,” added Reverberi.
