Filippo Ganna drags Italy into World Cup final

The words of Filippo Ganna

Italy is in the final in the team pursuit event at the World Championships in Paris. Comparison without history with France that with less than 3 laps to go completely fell apart. Thursday will be a challenge for gold against the British who beat New Zealand.

It is Marco Villa and Filippo Ganna who comment on the practice, starting with the CT: “After the afternoon practice we realized that we had made some mistakes and remedied them. In particular I had noticed a slowdown in a phase of the race with Lamon in which he had held the long pull, but it was enough to talk to him to fix it. Staying in this quartet is not easy and qundi was good.”

Next up was the leader of the group, Piedmontese Filippo Ganna: “We showed, we and the girls, that we are always on the ball. It’s not easy with such a tight schedule to find a way to meet each other. Now we think about recovering and then tomorrow. Bravo to Manlio Moro who withstood the pressure the best he could. We are a good family, we support each other, and I also remember Liam Bertazzo. Villa’s role? An uncle who listens to us.”
