Lampre for M-SR

Alessandro Ballan's third place overall in Tirreno-Adriatico has not surprisingly guaranteed him a spot for this weekend's La Classicissima, Milano-Sanremo, with the 26 year-old also looking ready to tackle the Belgian Spring Classics.

Damiano Cunego's presence is also confirmed for M-SR, and together with Ballan, the eight-man Lampre-Fondital team includes Danilo Napolitano, Claudio Corioni, Giuliano Figueras, Paolo Fornaciari, Gorazd Stangelj and Matteo Carrara.
