This week, LAMPRE-MERIDA will also ride on more traditional and less exotic roads than the ones in Abu Dhabi. The team of manager Brent Copeland will race in Italy in the GP Città di Peccioli-Coppa Sabatini (October 8), in the Giro dell'Emilia (October 10) and in the Gp Beghelli (October 11).

These are the riders who were selected for each event:
- Thursday, October 8, Gp Città di Peccioli-Coppa Sabatini: Matteo Bono, Mattia Cattaneo, Valerio Conti, Roberto Ferrari, Ilia Koshevoy, Przemyslaw Niemiec, Jan Polanc, Edward Ravasi (trainee). Sport director: Daniele Righi.
- Saturday, October 10, Giro dell’Emilia: Matteo Bono, Mattia Cattaneo, Valerio Conti, Roberto Ferrari, Ilia Koshevoy, Przemyslaw Niemiec, Jan Polanc, Edward Ravasi (trainee). Sport director: Orlando Maini.
- Sunday, October 11 , Gp Beghelli: Matteo Bono, Mattia Cattaneo, Valerio Conti, Roberto Ferrari, Ilia Koshevoy, Przemyslaw Niemiec, Jan Polanc. Sport director: Orlando Maini.

Sports director Righi explained the aims of the team for the GO Città di Peccioli-Coppa Sabatini: “First of all, welcome back to racing for Niemiec, who has not raced since the crash he got involved in during the second stage of the Vuelta a Espana. During the race, we’ll must be ready to join large breakaways and to support Polanc and Conti in the final part of the course."

Orlando Maini, who’ll drive the team car in Giro dell’Emilia and Gp Beghelli, said: “The team will rely on three riders  Cattaneo, Koshevoy and Niemiec, who’ll be competitive both in a breakaway and on the final climb of San Luca in the Giro dell’Emilia. In this race, Conti and Polanc will be our captains for trying to achieve a good result and they’ll receive the support from Bono.

"For what concerns the GP Beghelli, if the course will be covered at a high pace and the race will become demanding, Conti, who won the 2015 edition, will be our leader, otherwise Ferrari will be free to exploit his skills as sprinter”.
