Saronni frustrated with Lampre-ISD's poor performances

Following a rather poor performance at the World Championships team time trial, Lampre-ISD manager Giuseppe Saronni has spoken out about his current dissatisfaction with the outfit's poor performances this season. The squad's six riders Adriano Malori, Alessandro Petacchi, Matteo Bono, Davide Cimolai, Daniele Pietropolli and Davide Viganò finished in 28th position of the 32 participating teams, 4:18 minutes adrift of the winning team Omega Pharma-QuickStep. Moreover, the Italian team scored only seven victories this season, none of which were WorldTour events.
