And... New season team Presentaton
team Androni-Giocattoli 2011 consists of:
Our new sponsors are:
Yes, we will ride Pinarello this year
Gianni Savio told that our goals will be:
And... some secret. My training schedule.
As you can see, my main race this year will be Giro d'Italia. I think I won't save my title at Tirreno-Adriatico. I will race it, but I wouldn't be in shape. So, see you on the track!

Wow, what a jersey Will is better and better....
(Seeing that it's maybe old because of the background)
And I can't wait to see Davis and Kreuziger in action

Who's gonna be your sprinter in Giro? Davis?
Because of the goals are winning the sprinter jersey, I think you should bring Davis. This is your choice, my vote doesn't count unless you have a poll
And it's Thomas Lövkvist, not Thomas Lowkwist

It's Will's 2010 jersey, which I slightly changed by adding new sponsors

I don't know yet. But I think, Allan will be our sprinter at Tour de France, at least his training schedule is made for this.
About giro - I think it won't be a sprinter who will win Maglia Rosso. This year's version has very big amount of hilly and mountainous stages, so it maybe even me who will fight for that goal

Qiuck Update
Tour Down Under
Season opener ended with very good results for us. Allan Davis and Leo Bertagnolli had won two stages and finished 4th and 2nd in overall. Allan was fighting for points classification till last stage, but he was a bit unlucky and loosed it.
The GC winner was Matthew Wilson from Garmin
GC:
| 1 | Matthew Wilson | Garmin - Transitions | 18h21'02 | | 2 | Leonardo Bertagnolli | Androni Giocattoli | + 19 | | 3 | Julian Dean | BMC Racing Team | + 59 | | 4 | Allan Davis | Androni Giocattoli | + 1'07 | | 5 | Jimmy Engoulvent | Saur - Sojasun | + 1'08 | | 6 | Romain Feillu | Caisse d'Epargne | + 1'15 | | 7 | Sébastien Chavanel | Française des Jeux | s.t. | | 8 | Enrico Gasparotto | Astana | + 1'19 | | 9 | Matthew Goss | Team HTC - Columbia | + 1'21 | | 10 | Vicente Reynès | Team HTC - Columbia | + 1'22 |
I didn't participate

Davis is probably dissapointed by not being on the podium

It's his fault. He was 3rd in GC before last stage, but Dean had won it, and Davis didn't even made it to top-10

GP di Lugano
Cold, rainy weather, slippery roads and legs that didn't race for a months...
It was my very first race this season and I didn't expect any big results, I just wanted to feel my legs in racing, so I was "team-mate" today, I've bring few bottles to Scarponi, who is in good form already.
It was quite quiet race till 45 km to finish. On last lap we had few attacks. Scarponi, Sivtsov and even Kreuziger who rode here in Switzerland just for training before P-N. And every attack was caught.
So, when main contender, Sergiei Ivanov broke away it was only me in Androni squad who had strength. I set on his wheel and few other guys did it too. We made nice group and begun to increase our advantage.
By the way, look at my new bike. Pinarello Dogma 60.1 with Campagnolo group-set and wheels. Fantastic!
The peloton didn't sleep and with 10 km to finish we already were in sights of riders there, but we still had small gap. In the end it all decided in sprint. I didn't catch the ultimate moment and when I begun acceleration, Ivanov already was far in front. So, I just tried my sprinting skills and finished in good 4th position. Not on the podium, but it's still something
