Giulio Pellizzarithe revelation of Tour of Italy as well as third in Slovenia’s overall ranking which ended yesterday, will not take part in the Tour de l’Avenir, scheduled from 18 to 24 August. In recent days, while he was busy with his blue selection on the streets of Giro Next Genthe coach of the Under 23s Marino Amadori had the opportunity to telephone and discuss this matter with the young climber from the Marche region and both agreed that it would be better, if necessary, to aim for the online event of the World Championships in the event that the citizen of the senior national team, Daniele Bennatishould not involve him in the race reserved for professionals.
A painful choice (especially as regards Amadori, who with Pellizzari would perhaps have had among his ranks the main favourite), but all in all acceptable: the rider of the Vf Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè he has just completed two consecutive stage races (one of these, among other things, was the Giro dei pros) and has already tackled and completed six of them this season: before Slovenia and the pink race there had been the Tour of the Alps , Coppi and Bartali, Istrian Spring Trophy and Antalya. Furthermore, after the second place last season, Pellizzari would have lined up at the start of the Avenir with the obligation to win: a further responsibility that would have burdened an already demanding season and which, as you can easily imagine, has another decisive appointment in the month of September, the world championship.
