In the weekend, the attention of LAMPRE-MERIDA will be focused not only on Spain, but also on two races in Belgium and in France. The riders from the team of team manager Brent Copeland will participate in Bruxelles Cycling Classic and in GP Fourmies.

For these two races, sports director Mario Scirea will direct 7 riders: Niccolò Bonifazio, Mario Costa, Chun Kai Feng, Roberto Ferrari, Sacha Modolo, Filippo Pozzato and Xu Gang.

Luca Pacioni is forced to postpone his debut as trainee because he got injuried in a crash yesterday in an Under 23 race.

The team's strong point will be the fast riders whose members will be the very fast trio Bonifazio-Ferrari-Modolo and Pozzato. Xu Gang, Mario Costa and Feng will have the opportunity to join breakaways which usually take off in the early part of the races.
