Pozzato Discussion Thread

If he'll manage to recover i would bring him, he's surely more suited for the parcours than Nibali.

I think Modolo has got to be in with a shout of selection too.

The situation is quiet complex as FCI didnt seem to have spoken about the CAS (or TAS?) rulling.

The Olympic road race is too short for Pozzato, he does need some selection and to arrive in a small group for be competitive.

He can always attack or follow attacks.
I think it will either end up as a bunch sprint with the majority of the sprinters or with an attack who go away to the finish. It will have to be by a really strong rider who leads it/ a number of them and it will need to contain enough of the favorites teams.

Pozzato is a funny guy.
Of all the countries in the world, he chooses Kenya to stay in shape.
Too bad they didn't ask him if he knows Kisorio.

Pozzato returns from Kenya on Friday and he confessed that he had also availed of the opportunity to train at altitude during his time there. “I set the alarm for 5 in the morning here to go out on the bike,” he said. “We’re at altitude, over 2,000 metres above sea level. I don’t think I’ve lost a lot in terms of training.”

Pippo Pozzato - Only God Can Judge Me - Discussion thread

He's in good shape it seems. if the weathers stays good in belgium for the next week I don't see who can ride over Kwaremont and Paterberg faster than Pippo during de Ronde.

 

[Arredondo]

Like i said, Pippo wil shine this year.

All about motivation.

Ronde is in the bag

A disgrace that he wasnt invited in roubaix

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Still wondering if he could have won De Ronde in 2012, had he and Ballan just put down the hammer on Paterberg. Damn, Boonen was close to dropping there.

yeah so close. if the paterberg was 20 metres longer Boonen would've been dropped there

This is Pippo's year.

Filippo Pozzato was the most notable name at the European Derny Championships on the track at Ballerup, Denmark on Monday, and though the Italian qualified for the final, he placed 10th and last in a race won by Casper Folsach (Denmark).

The event was held separately to the UEC’s European Track Championships, which took place in Paris last week. Folsach, paced by derny rider Stinus Roslund, won by two laps from Jesper Asselman (Netherlands), with Andreas Graf (Austria) a further two laps back in third.

Pozzato was paced by Cordiano Dagnoni finished eight laps down in 10th place, one position and one lap behind fellow Italian Francesco Castegnaro. The European derny title was claimed by Kenny De Ketele (Belgium) last season, while Elia Viviani (Italy) won gold in 2013.
