GARA 7 : Richmond

6ºC

Richmond, Virginia, USA,
There are just 2 Italian golden flat-cobble specialists, the nrs 22 & 27 of the CFF flat-cobble ranking.

With an enormous GV cap to the Italians with a silver flat-cobble icon.
Even the "best" silver Italian is a very unexperienced 24yo, and almost certain he is not good enough to help in s3.
So, no need to select an extra silver helper in this situation.
And although selected as xp cyclist, maybe, and just maybe, the Italian cobblehills captain can help in s1 and/or s2.

A lot of space to select xp-cyclists, and 4 of them are debutants.
I gave toptalent Scafidi his debut in race 1 of this NT season, now his 3rd xp selection,
and promising/nice to see that he is moving up quickly, as very young 21yo, in the u23 DreamTeam.

NT race 6 results ;

3    Nestore Novelli      31   0: 05"   225      SPORTLIFE
4    Salvatore Vergottini      24   0: 06"   200      Villavante
11    Vittorio Spadaro      26   0: 11"   110      AJ_Visma
15    Simone Facci      29   0: 13"   70      SPORTLIFE
20    Giovanni Pizzuto      31   0: 15"   10      WaterBoys

:( Facci finished with a mechanical breakdown, and Italy scored even less points as in NT race 5, the flat time trial of 38 km.

Australia was the best in this short 15 km time trial with a total of 670 points, and moves up to 2nd in the season ranking.
Although Australia has a better flat-cobble captain than Italy, it has just 2 golden flat-cobble specialists, just like Italy.
And the gap is enormous / way too big ; Italy is 990 points ahead.  8)

I expect that Belgium will be the nr 2 this season, because it has an amazing flat-cobble selection, incl. nrs 1 + 2 + 10.
But the current nr 5 Belgium is 1.175 points behind Italy. Also that gap is way too big to overtake.

Nice to mention ;
Brencis ( Latvia & SPORTLIFE ) won both time trials of this NT season.  :)

NT race 5 result ;

2    Frederico Gucciardo      27   0: 00"   250      Flyvende_hjul

Unfortunately no victory, but 2nd is also a very good result.
With these 250 points, it seems to me that Italy is already "secured" of the NT world championship.
Hopefully I'm not cheering too soon now. :)


GARA 6 : Yverdon-les-Bains

16ºC

Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland,
A very short time trial of just 15 km is always even more a lottery than a NT time trial of a normal distance already is.
And there could be low-stamina TT specialists/foreign rivals, that are only really suited for this very short TT to score points.
But Italy has a TT-top-selection, so, I expect many points. And even without luck, as in previous TT = NT race 5.

Salvatore Vergottini ( 24 ) Villavante
Nestore Novelli ( 31 ) SPORTLIFE
Giovanni Pizzuto ( 31 ) WaterBoys

GARA 5 : Montalcino

18ºC

Garrara, Italy,
A very windy NT season so far, and also in this NT race.
The 2x wind combined with many flat sections, makes this race unpredictable and a tactical challenge/gamble ; luck is needed.

Italy does have a top contender, and if the helpers can keep him in the front, a very good result should be possible.
A tactical disaster is also possible, but before the race I'm positive that will not happen due to the Italian "home advantage". :)

NT race 4 results ;

4    Nestore Novelli              31   0: 05"   200      SPORTLIFE
5    Salvatore Vergottini      24   0: 06"   180      Villavante
10    Giovanni Pizzuto      31   0: 14"   120      WaterBoys
12    Simone Facci              29   0: 15"   100      SPORTLIFE
16    Marco Petruso              31   0: 17"   60      Lukara

 :(  Negative =

Italy has 2 real top contenders, and not even a podium place. 4th and 5th is dissapointing for Novelli* and Vergottini*.
What has as consequence that both have not a real chance anymore to win the NT jersey / both were favorites to win it.

Pizzuto and Facci* did about what was expected.
Only Petruso* seemed to have luck as nr 34 of TT-ranking, although he did had an active weather icon = *.

Unfortunately Marsile( 21st ), Fortticcini*( 22nd ) and Spadora( 24th ) finished all just 0:01" outside the points.
And Palandrani( 34th ) finished 0:03" outside the points, but no surprise he did not score as nr 31 of TT-ranking.
More was expected of Marsile, nr 15 TT-ranking, ánd Spadora, although just nr 23 TT-ranking, in previous season he was 9th.

Well, hopefully much more luck for Italy in the next time trial, NT race 6.


 :D Positive =

Despite Italy could and/or should have scored much more TT-points ( now it was "just" 660 points ) ;
as expected, Italy scored by far the best in this time trial, ánd is the new leader in the season ranking.
Former nrs 1 & 2, Colombia and USA, now nrs 2 & 3, scored even zero points, so, Italy is leading with a huge gap of 510 points.
