Pozzato to ride Belgian Classics

Filippo Pozzato, the newly-crowned king of the Via Roma in Sanremo, hopes to be able to put his good shape to practice in the Northern Spring Classics, too. The Italian Quick.Step rider is currently scheduled to compete in the KBC-Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde, Ronde van Vlaanderen, Gent-Wevelgem and Paris-Roubaix. "I don't know yet if I'll take Amstel, too," said Pozzato in Menton on the French Riviera on Saturday evening, as he celebrated his Primavera victory with Paolo Bettini, Guido Trenti, Matteo Tosatto and Luca Paolini. "It's going to be a modest party, as I want to shine in the Ronde," added the Italian.
