Ciclismo su pista, i convocati dell’Italia per la Nations Cup a Il Cairo. Torna Elia Viviani

Scatterà domani, martedì 14 marzo, con le qualificazioni degli inseguimenti a squadre, la seconda tappa della Nations Cup 2023 di ciclismo su pista, in programma a Il Cairo, in Egitto: in palio punti preziosi per la qualificazione a Parigi 2024. Il programma consta di 14 eventi: risultano esclusi il chilometro, i 500 metri, l’inseguimento individuale e la corsa a punti. Le finali sono spalmate su tre giorni, da mercoledì 15 a venerdì 17 marzo.

Il commissario tecnico dell’Italia, Marco Villa, ha diramato l’elenco dei 16 azzurri convocati per la trasferta in Egitto: Martina Alzini, Liam Bertazzo, Matteo Bianchi, Davide Boscaro, Chiara Consonni, Lara Crestanello, Francesco Lamon, Manlio Moro, Mattia Predomo, Valentina Scandolara, Michele Scartezzini, Francesca Selva, Matteo Tugnolo, Miriam Vece, Matilde Vitillo, Elia Viviani.

Se da una parte l’attività su strada costringe l’Italia a rinunciare all’ossatura dei quartetti dell’inseguimento, dall’altra si potrà schierare in Egitto il miglior terzetto della velocità olimpica maschile, ovvero Bianchi, Predomo e Tugnolo, con i quali si punta a fare meglio del sesto posto di Grenchen. Ci saranno anche il capitano dell’Italia, Elia Viviani, ed i veterani Bertazzo e Scartezzini.
