Elia Viviani will lead Cannondale in the Brussels Cycling Classic and the GP de Fourmies this weekend. While the Italian will target a sprint finish, Moreno Moser and Kristjan Koren will try to attack.
Cannondale Pro Cycling will ride across Belgium and France over the next two day. The Green Machine will compete in the Brussels Cycling Classic and the Grand-Prix de Fourmies. The 202 km Brussels Cycling Classic begins tomorrow, September 6. It will start and finish in the Belgian capitol. Then, on Sunday, September 7, the team will head north to France for the 205 km Grand Prix de Fourmies.
Cannondale Pro Cycling can count on eight riders, led by team director Gilles Pauchard. Italian sprinter, and recent stage winner at Colorado's USA Pro Challenge, Elia Viviani will be the team's fastest man during both races, and all eyes will be on him during massive sprint arrivals. Moreno Moser and Kristijan Koren will also be alternative leadersto watch each day. Jean-Marc Marino, Alan Marangoni, Michel Koch and Daniele Ratto, who returns to racing after a broken collarbone at the Tour de Suisse, will be the riders in charge to lead out the leaders in the key moments of each race and in their finales.
"We have what we need to achieve top results in both races," said team director Pauchard. "We want to leave a mark and we can target this goal only racing as a united team. Viviani is our first option, but the entire roster is strong. We're ready to play all our chances."
