Since nothing much is happening these days with the shark, here's what Bennati says about the Worlds Down Under. Of course Nibali is mentioned.
"Apparently the design does not seem so difficult, but once you do all the reconnaissance you realize that it is not. The roads are wide and smooth, the downhill sections are tackled at great speed with peaks at 90km/h. After the start from Helensburgh is the climb up Mount Keira (8.7 kilometers at 5 percent). The first few kilometers are tough, then the next few are much more rideable. This is just a small appetizer before the Wollongong city circuit."
"There are two climbs. The first of 500 meters, the second much more challenging 1km (Mount Pleasant: 1100 meters at 7.7%, peaks of 14%). From the summit it will then be 7.5km to the finish. Just over 4km are downhill and the last 3 on the flat."
"You need strong people on the climb, but with explosiveness to make a difference on the 1km climb and then hold on the very fast descent. In no time you're 3km from the finish. It takes a classics rider. Dutchman Van der Poel and Frenchman Alaphilippe are two names to keep in mind, but Girmay is not to be underestimated either."
"The best Alberto Bettiol, the one who won Flanders in 2019, could play it. I would like the June 26 Italian Championships in Alberobello to be taken as a test, a chance to show off ahead of the World Championships."
"With Vincenzo I still have to talk. I know for sure that he wants to aim for the Tour of Lombardy and will prepare for it with the Vuelta. The Spanish race ends two weeks before the World Cup. I want to see his availability."
