UAE Team Emirates for the Giro della Toscana, Coppa Sabatini and the Memorial Pantani

With the World Championships coming up, UAE Team Emirates will head to Italy for three one-day races: the Giro della Toscana (18 September), the Coppa Sabatini Peccioli Cup (September 19) and the Memorial Pantani (September 21).

Sports Director Marco Marzano (Ita), will oversee the three races and will direct the following riders:
Giro della Toscana and Coppa Sabatini
– Simone Consonni (Ita)
– Nicolas Dalla Valle (Ita)
– Roberto Ferrari (Ita)
– Manuele Mori (Ita)
– Simone Petilli (Ita)

Marco Marzano : “The route of the Giro della Toscana is selective, Petilli is our rider with the best qualities for this type of race.
As for the Coppa Sabatini-Gp Peccioli, it can suit a lot of different riders, as it can also suit a fast finisher: Consonni for example has what it takes to do well. ”

Memorial Pantani
– Simone Consonni (Ita)
– Valerio Conti (Ita)
– Roberto Ferrari (Ita)
– Manuele Mori (Ita)
– Rui Oliveira (Por)
– Simone Petilli (Ita)
– Diego Ulissi (Ita)

Diego Ulissi, winner of the 2015 race: “In three participations at the Memorial Pantani I had a win and a second place, so I can safely say that I have a good relationship with this race.
I’ll be arriving here after a block of racing in Canada and before the World Championships, so it will be a great opportunity to build both confidence and form ahead of this race. “
