The winner of the last Paris-Roubaix guest at the Trento Sports Festival

The cyclist of the moment, Sonny Colbrelli , was a guest of the Sport Festival in Trento . The Italian, European champion and recent winner of an epic Paris-Roubaix retraced his career and an amazing 2021 together with Maurizio Fondriest and Ignazio Moser , revealing some unpublished details that happened after his success on French stones: "The first thing I said after the finish to the team staff? Not to wash anything. I want to keep everything as I remember and maybe hang the still dirty bike in the new house ”. Roubaix wasn't exactly in her plans: “Sunday was my first time, I just wanted to have fun. So much so that I told my family, who always come to cheer me on, to stay home because of the rain and the cold ”.

Sonny also called Eddy Merckx who had complimented him in the newspapers: “I wanted to thank him, he told me that I became a legend”.

The most difficult day was the European Championship: “I felt the tension and I didn't have a good eve. But the result was exceptional ”. What about the future? “Sanremo is my first goal for 2022 to then aim for Flanders, Roubaix and Amstel”.

The former world champion Maurizio Fondriest confirmed instead that he will not be the new coach of the Italian national team: "Federal president Dagnoni called me and surprised me - he said - but I left pride aside to continue following the young riders of the future ".
