While he seemed close to joining Wilier - Selle Italia a few weeks ago, Davide Malacarne is still without a contract. 

The Italian of the Astana team did not really understand why the contacts with the Italian formation did not lead to a deal. 

"I do not really know why negotiations have not worked out with Wilier - Selle Italia, we should ask them,” he said in Ultimo chilometro. “Unfortunately, the situation is that I do not have a team to express myself in the years to come. I'm working on trying to find one.”

As many teams have folded or scaled down, Malacarne is ready to accept offers from continental teams. 

"Going from the Giro d'Italia to a third division schedule will require a lot of motivation. You certainly need your legs but if the brain is disconnected, everything becomes difficult. However, it will be a possibility because I do not want to stop at 29.”

Malacarne seems ready to go down two divisions to try to get back to the highest lvel. Meanwhile, he maintains his condition by training and doing some cyclo-cross races.
