Another race bites the dust. 😭🥴 I was meant to travel to Poland for a UCI CL1 next week but the government has just announced that it has gone into level 5 lockdown after the recent explosion of covid cases. I am really disappointed to make this decision as I’m feeling really strong on the bike at the moment. ☹️ It doesn’t make sense for me to risk travelling even if the event is permitted to run. #heresto2020 🙄

🇬🇧 One of our favourite images of @bardiani_csf_faizane at the Giro d’Italia this year.  Stage 1 saw the team take on the opening time trial, a 15km mostly downhill sprint from Monreale to Palermo. This one captures @filippo_fiorelli in full flow in the super tuck position on the stage’s long downhill section. It was Filippo’s first experience of a Grand Tour as a pro.  The stage would be won by @gannafilippo who finished 22 seconds ahead of his nearest rival. Ganna’s win also earned him the right to wear the maglia rosa for the first time in his career.  ————— 🇮🇹 Una delle nostre immagini preferite della @bardiani_csf_faizane al Giro d'Italia di quest'anno.  La prima tappa ha visto il team affrontare il cronoprologo, uno sprint di 15km per la maggior parte in discesa, da Monreale a Palermo. Questa foto ritrae @filippo_fiorelli nel pieno della sua gara in posizione "super tuck" nella lunga sezione in discesa della tappa. Per Filippo è stata la prima esperienza in un Grand Tour come pro.  La tappa è stata vinta…
