Ferrari and Cavendish to clash again in De Panne sprints
Lampre resting Pozzꦏato and Petacchi ahead of Flanders





The man who caused former world champion Mark Cavendish distress and pain with some erratic sprinting during last year's Giro d'Italia, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Roberto Ferrari, will once again be in the mix and looking for success when the Three Days of De Panne (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Driedaagse De Panne) begins in Belgium today.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lampre-Merida management had already planned for Filippo𝐆 Pozzato and Alessandro Petacchi to skip the race, so they ﷺcan train for Tour of Flanders.
.The Manxman has raced against the Italian once this year, at Tirreno-Adriatico, however neither of them managed to win a sprint. Cavendish wore the race leader's jersey after taking out the team time trial with Om🧜ega Pharma-Quick-Step but the upcoming three-day race will give the nꦉext opportunity to bump shoulders.
"Roberto [Ferarri] gave his co𒅌ntribution to the team superbly in Coppi e Bartali, despite a bruise on his side that was caused by the crash in Milano-San Remo. He could be competit🐷ive thanks to his mix of stamina and speed," added Bontempi.
Ferrari is yet to throw his hands in celebration wearing the Lampre-Merida c🅷olours but the Stage 11 winner at the 2012 Giro d'Italia is coming off a solid block of racing that may see him in the mix during the expected bunch sprints. He will need to use all of his positioning skills to be competitive against a field warming-up for Sunday's Ronde van🌜 Vlaanderen.
In addition to Cavendish, who has already picked up five individual wins this year, the experienced Italian will go up against Gent-Wevelgem winner Peter Sagan (Cannondale Pro Cycling), Milan-San Remo victor G𒅌erald Ciolek (MTN-♛Qhubeka), Andre Greipel (Lotto Belisol), Leigh Howard (Orica GreenEdge), Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) and Francesco Chicchi (Vini Fantini-Selle Italia) to name just a few.
