Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde 2017.
The NIPPO Vini Fantini is ready to ride the prestigious competition of the Belgium calendar, also well known as the 3 days of de Panne. 3 days of races, divided in 2 full stages in the first 2 days and in 2 semi-stage the last day.
The Sports Directors leading the #OrangeBlue team are Stefano Giuliani and Valerio Tebaldi and they will count on the good condition of the young talents of the team coming from Tirreno, Sanremo and Coppi e Bartali. One of the leaders will be Marco Canola among most brilliant riders in Milano-Sanremo and Coppi e Bartali. Very good the condition of the young Italian Iuri Filosi in action in Tirreno-Adriatico, among best riders of the team in Milano Sanremo and among main riders in Coppi e Bartali with a long escape in the first day and with a strong action in the final stage. Opportunities for both young sprinters of the team, Eduard Grosu and Nicolas Marini, the most winning rider of the team in 2015 and 2016 season. With them all the experience of Pierpaolo De Negri, the determination of Riccardo Stacchiotti, the team-attitude of the young Japanese Yuma Koishi and finally the Italian neo-pro Nicola Bagioli.
3 Days of De Panne with a strong starting list, counting on 7 World Tour Teams and 13 Professional teams. The race will be Broadcasted by Eurosport 1, live from 2.00 pm allover Europe.
Stefano Giuliani will lead the team on the team car for this important away race: “The stages will have a different road and we have to use different tactics. Also the first 2 stages, where sprint is expected have different characteristics, probably the first one fit well to Grosu and the second one to Marini. For sure each rider of the team will have his chance. Iuri Filosi and Marco Canola have a strong condition, but everyone will be important such as De Negri and Stacchiotti that knows very well the race of the North, and Yuma Koishi and Nicola Bagioli, important team-workers but with license to escape.”
