30 year-old Ukrainian Yuriy Mitlushenko has changed teams from Miche to LPR, his new team announced. The sprinter fills the place left by the recently retired Dario Pieri, and will act as a guide for the younger sprinters in the squad.
"Our sprinters, Marzoli and Gavazzi, are young and talented, but perhaps still a little raw for certain situations," said tam manager Omar Piscina. "Mitlushenko is instead an experienced athlete, in a position to fight shoulder to shoulder with the better specialists...I think he will debut already next Sunday in Paris-Roubaix."
