Israel – Premier Tech will be lining up for the up-coming Italian one-day races with a powerful mix of climbers, puncheurs and sprinters, determined to finish off the season on a strong note.
“We are here to be protagonists, not spectators”, sports director Claudio Cozzi says. “We want to finish this season with good results. Motivation is always an important factor this late in the season and we are highly motivated to fight for victories. We have a strong group of riders for both the hilly races and the ones expected to finish in a sprint. We are ready.”
IPT newcomer, Dylan Teuns, who joined the team midseason in August, has shown great shape in his first races in the blue and white colors of the team and the Belgian is eager to get started on this challenging block of racing.
“I’m looking forward to these Italian autumn classics”, Teuns explains. “I’m really motivated. My condition is still good and I’ve prepared well so I think I can be confident taking on these races.”
