Filippo Ganna in the hunt for a rainbow trio

The words of Filippo Ganna

The 2022 World Road Championships officially begins on Sunday. So everything is ready in Wollongong, the stage of the rainbow event, which returns to Oceania for the second time in history.

At the debut, Italy immediately drops one of the most important cards. The Elite time trial in fact sees us favored, with two-time world champion Filippo Ganna looking for a trio that would equal the feats of Tony Martin and Michael Rogers.

“The last one was an intense period, this week I’m taking advantage of it to recover some mental energy to arrive fresh in the lead up to the race,” the feelings of the Italian expressed in the press conference presenting the world time trial. He added: “The 2020 title was a bit unexpected, in the year of the Covid, while the 2021 title was more suffered, because it came at the end of the most intense season of my life and with greater expectations. This year was no less challenging, so we’ll see if the math will add up once again.”
