Lampre-Fondital sprinter Danilo Napolitano competed in his first Track World Championships this weekend, racing in the men's 15 km scratch race. Napolitano finished fifth in the event, which was won by Jérôme Neuville (France), who led a breakaway of four riders clear in the closing stages.
"My first experience in the World Championships has been good," commented Napolitano from Bordeaux. "I'm satisfied with the result, even if I think that with more experience I could do better and obtain something important. However, I repeat that I'm happy and that I would like to race again on the track in future: I will be able to gain experience and become stronger."
