Sibiu – Romania. This is the destination of the NIPPO Vini Fantini team that leaved today Italy for the Sibiu Cycling Tour that will be from the 1st to the 5th of July. Among #OrangeBlue riders there will be Eduard Grosu, that is coming from the best results ever of a Romanian rider in a big tour (the 5th place in the Giro d’Italia sprint in Jesolo), but also looking for a good result after the 9th place of the National Champion. Similar approach for all the team that is coming from great performance of the Tour de Slovenie, but also not so exciting results of the Italian Championship, won by Vincenzo Nibali after the escape of his young #OrangeBlue brother Antonio Nibali.
The NIPPO Vini Fantini team will arrive in the Sibiu Cycling Tour with a complete line-up, to compete in arrival with few riders with De Negri, in climb arrival with Bisolti and Chaparro and with riders for escape as Berate and also Nibali. Eduard Grosu is the fast rider of the team for the sprint arrivals.
The complete #OrangeBlue line-up:
Eduard Grosu, Pierpaolo De Negri, Giacomo Berlato, Didier Chaparro, Alessandro Bisolti, Iuri Filosi, Antonio Nibali.
On the team car, the sports director Stefano Giuliani think that it will be a very important race in this moment of the season: “We are in a key moment of the season. We arrive from a very good performance in the Tour de Slovénie and from another not so good performance in national championships. I expect a reaction from all riders here in the Sibiu Tour.”
The official start will be the 1st of July with the individual time trial. The #OrangeBlue will be ready to compete.
