Great return in race for Leonardo Bertagnolli. Today, in Camaiore he takes his revenge on the bad luck: «After the not constant performances of the first months» affirms Bertagnolli «I dedicate my time to train myself to achieve the best condition. Now I’m in form and I’ll do all that is possible to take advantage of it and pick new satisfactions».

The race was decided when there’re two laps at the end, when Bertagnolli and other fifteen riders escaped. At the last lap of the circuit, and 8 kilometres to cover, the Liquigas’ rider rose with the decisive attack and, alone, crossed the finishing line leaving behind Kiryenka and Biondo at 30’’. «I guessed the escape» continues Bertagnolli «and on the last climb I understand that was the right moment to make selection: I made a forcing and earned enough time to arrive at the finish». The GP of Camaiore is his second victory in this season after the stage in Intaka Tech World’s View Challenge in February.

«It’s a great victory» adds satisfied the DS Mario Scirea «that gives moral to the team and confidence to Bertagnolli for the end of the season. I hope could be good omen for Liquigas in the other races of August».
