On the sidelines of the GLGS-USSI awards ceremony, Sportal.it exclusively interviewed Sonny Colbrelli: “I always follow cycling, it’s strange to see it as a spectator on TV. Unfortunately it’s like that but you move on. Watching Paris-Roubaix again that I had won really affected me, I understood better what I did.”

“Vincenzo Nibali will have a thousand opportunities now,” he added, “What he has done very few have done, both in stage races and one-day races. As a teammate he taught me so much. I wish him all the best. There is a lack of his heir. At the World Championships we deserved more, with a bit of luck we could have won a medal.”

Closing remark on Filippo Ganna: “I knew he would break the hour record and by a lot too. He was criticized after the Worlds but I’m sure he will try again and improve again, with a time that then yes they will struggle to beat.”
