Yesterday a meeting took place between Cassani and Nibali. Gazzetta reports that, at the moment the team for Tokyo road race will be Caruso, Bettiol, Moscon, Ciccone and Formolo. Lo Squalo is on the reserve list.
Cassani:
"I want to bring the best lineup like in Rio 2016. In Brazil, Nibali was coming from the Giro victory, now unfortunately his situation is much more delicate, and for faults that are not his own. Vincenzo is a patrimony of our cycling: I don't know, let's see how he is in the next days and what feelings he will have. The decision will come after the Italian Championships of Imola on June 20".
