The umpteenth magic of a legendary blue 2021

At their home, once again. The slogan of the golden summer of Italian sport is also confirmed in cycling. Belgium was waiting for the first world championship jersey in its time trial history. And while in the sport of his father, who was a national canoeist at the Olympics, two golds and a bronze were arriving at the World Cup (Andrea Domenico Liberto, Daniele Santini, Nicolae Craciun and Carlo Tacchini), Filippo Ganna was going to take back his. In his own way. Coming back and adding more magic to the enchanted blue summer. He was 6 seconds late from Van Aert in the first intermediate, a handful of hundredths per second, he came in front of him by 5 seconds at the end, "perfect in distributing the effort - says Marco Bonarrigo in Corriere della Sera - impervious to the tension of the challenge in away, lucid in the analysis ". A Rossinian crescendo, as defined by Pier Bergonzi in the Gazzetta dello sport.

Cosimo Cito tells in Repubblica that “like the Manzoni prince of Condé, very calm before the battle of Rocroi, Filippo Ganna struggled to wake up in the gloomy morning of Knokke. He had to sweat it out, however, in the midst of thousands of Belgian supporters, screaming and even something more: «I heard some buuu, insults, but it's part of the game. Winning here has another flavor. Here they eat bread and bicycles for breakfast »”. Cito underlines the 54,370 km / h average and points out that “a little more, inside a velodrome, and it will be an hour record. The attack on the 55.089 by another Belgian, Victor Campenaerts, will arrive in about a year ”.

There remains the Italian difficulty in the great laps and a future that in this sense appears very uncertain. But there is Filippo Ganna, a time trial phenomenon and more. Just enjoy it, even at Fantacycling : a surefire purchase like few others in our game.
