Bennati ready to support Cancellara on the cobbles

Daniele Bennati (RadioShack-Nissan) will ride the cobbled classics in support of teammate Fabian Cancellara in 2012 after forgoing all but Gent-Wevelgem last season. The Italian opted to end his classics campaign after his second place finish in Wevelgem last March for fear of exacerbating a nagging Achilles tendon injury on the cobbles.
