Filippo Ganna, Elia Viviani, Elisa Balsamo, and Letizia Paternoster are part of a strong Italian team for this week’s UCI Track World Championships in Roubaix, with the Azzurri looking to continue their 2021 success after winning a haul of medals at the Tokyo Olympic.

The Track World Championships were scheduled for the spring but were moved to the end of the European season and from Turkmenistan to France and due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
