"Superpippo" will race the Etoile des Besseges
Filippo Ganna starts 2022 from Bellegarde , in Occitania , the place where tomorrow the Etoile des Besseges begins. "Superpippo" on 22 October was still racing on the track and just over three months later he starts again on the street. Ciro Scognamiglio interviewed him for the Gazzetta dello Sport:
“I'm a little overweight, but that's normal - he said. To get to the Tour, it's long. We have to take it one step at a time. With head, without finishing ahead of time. The values are there. They are up to the usual standards »This year I too will have my chances, plus carte blanche, with the team at my disposal. A calendar was made for me, to enhance my characteristics. There will be some good opportunities to show that I am not "simply" a cronoman or a pistard ».
What and where are its margins for improvement? «To face this" fateful "Roubaix I am taking care of the abdominals, the upper part of the body more than usual. Once through, towards the Tour I will have to lose some kilos. I am in an "up and down" of the body which is normal in this period. From mine I have the mass, I will never be a 70-75 kg climber. I would distort myself, I can't afford it. But Cancellara, in yellow, weighed more than 80 kilos and defended himself well on several uphill occasions. We will see. For me it is a "new" year. I will do less track, but the European Championships in Monaco in August maybe yes, for the Olympic points ».
We will see what Ganna will be able to give also from a Fantacycling point of view; one thing is certain, its price is high, 30 million , but it is an investment that must be made.
