Fontana seeks podium finish at Rome World Cup round

Italian cyclo-cross champion Marco Aurelio Fontana (Cannondale Factory Racing) is hoping to once again finish on the podium at the Rome, Italy round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup this coming Sunday, nearly one year to the day since he placed third in the 2013 edition. Fontana proved to be the revelation of the day last year as he secured the final podium position in the elite men's event, 22 seconds behind winner Kevin Pauwels and just six seconds off the pace of runner-up Niels Albert.
