The Colombian Fernando Gaviria will be Movistar’s bet to aim for victory in the Milan-Turin sprint that takes place this Wednesdaywith a route of 192 km between Rho and Orbassano.
The Spanish formation will be built on the Italian classic with César Gaviria, Johan Jacobs, Iván Romeo, Gonzalo Serrano, Lluís Mas, Juri Hollmann and Oier Lazkano.
Milan-Turin will serve as an appetizer for Milan-San Remo which will take place next Saturdaya test for several sprinters who will aspire to glory in the ‘Classissima’.
The 192 km between Rho, west of the Lombard capital, and Orbassano, will not present a notable port. Ideal terrain for the talented groups to inspire the sprint three days before meeting against the best classics on the Via Roma.
