The only two road races left on Viviani's 2019 schedule are the EuroEyes Cycla༒ssics in Hamburg and the Bretagne Classic in Plouay a week later. He is then scheduled to ride the European Track Championships in Apeldoorn in October and the Track World Cup in Minsk a month later as he turns his attention to defending the🅠 Olympic omnium title that he won at the 2016 Games in Rio.
"When I rode the parcours of the Yorkshire Worlds and saw how hard it was, I shifted my attention to the European championships a✱nd made that race oౠne of my primary goals of the season," he explained.
"I recovered after the Tour de France, and had good condition, and came to the start with plenty of confidence after my victory in London," said Viviani, who won the one-day RideLondon-Surrey Classic a week before his European championshi✅ps victory.
"The race was atypical, as many were betting on a mass sprint, but it♕ split up early on and things were completely different from that moment on. Being there in the finale with a 'Wolfpack' teammate showed our strength and made the victory even more memorable," Viviani said, recollecting last Sunday's race.
