Elia Viviani was not the standard-bearer at the Tokyo Olympics by chance: in his career he won sprint stages at the Tour de France , the Vuelta di Spagna and the Giro di Italia . He won the European road championships and the track Olympics in Rio . He was missing one thing, the title of world champion , and he won it right in Roubaix , a few meters away from Sonny Colbrelli 's Velodrome of triumph. All true, not a fiction like "Squid Game", which in this period is so fashionable: however, Elia's feat arrives precisely in the specialty of Elimination , a race in which not only speed is needed, but also cunning and endurance. Marco Bonarrigo in the Corriere della Sera wrote that “Elia always arrives, when you least expect him and even when you think it's too late for him now. His wanting everything, his immoderate passion for the velodromes, the double-duty crushes cost him repeated lectures by the technicians who wanted to frame him - once and for all - as a cycling worker specialized in pulling the sprints to the champions. That, for them, had to be his aim in cycling ”. Ciro Scognamiglio for the Gazzetta dello sport wrote that “there is a sense of sporting justice in all this. He who is the perfect symbol of Italy on the track which, in recent years, from a Cinderella to a powerhouse ". Italy closed this World Cup with 10 medals, four gold. Not bad to close a magical 2021. Elia Viviani can also smile in view of next season, as he will be one of the most coveted riders to buy at Fantacycling .
