Sonny Colbrelli enters regional politics with Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party
Pa❀ris-Roubaix winner to stand as local representative candidate in Lombardia elections after leaving racin🥀g with cardiac problems

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sonny Colbrelli has decided to stand in regional elections in northern Italy with Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia party after caܫrdiac problems put an end to his professional racing career in 2022.
The former 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bahrain Victorious rider and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix winner haꦜs been named as a local representative candidate for the regional elections in the Lombardia region that includes Milan and Colbrelli’s hometown area of Valle Sabbia near Brescia.
Colbrelli is one of ten Forza Italia local candidates or so-called ‘rappresentanti del territorio’, though his chances of election remain slim, with just one or two set to be elected for his a♛rea.
The three current🌄 representatives will also stand again, with one reportedly nominating Colbrelli, perhaps in a move to ꦏgarner consensus. Colbrelli could ultimately decide to stand aside close to the February election date and throw his support to another candidate.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Colbrelli has a technical and ambassador role at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bahrain Victorious team as he begins life as a form𝓰er rider after suffering an unstable cardiac arrhythmia in t𝕴he spring.
He was fitted with a subcutaneous defibrillator after suffering a sudden unstable cardiac arrhyt🥂hmia at the Volta a Catalunya in March. The device will stabilise his heartbeat in the case of anotherﷺ arrhythmia but means he can no longer race.
Lombardia and Brescia are largely ruled by Italy’s right-wing parties, w🍷ith Forza Italia and the Northern League parties recenඣtly winning national elections after joining forces with the Brothers of Italy nationalist party.

Colbrelli reportedly said he was "a fan of Berlusconi" despite the 86-year-old being found guilty of tax fraud and b𓄧eing embroiled in multiple scandals.
In 2014 Colbrelli posted a comment on Facebook suggesting that former fascist dictator Musꦜsolini was needed to deal with an influx of immigrants in Italy. He later deleted the post saying he regretted it and denied it had political or racial connotations.
