Ulissi: “We’re excited to finally get the season underway.
We had a really good team training camp in Spain earlier this month and the atmosphere is great.

We’re all healthy and ready which is the main thing , now we’re just eager to pin on a number and race.
For the flatter days racing we have Ackermann who is very fast , while I’ll hope to show myself on the hillier stages , but we have a strong team full of different options.”
