In a press release today, Team Liquigas has announced that Daniele Bennati will ride the Ronde van Vlaanderen.
The Italian sprinter crashed at Tirreno-Adriatico, and has struggled with pain and inflammation in his hip flexors since then. During the finale of Milano-Sanremo, the symptoms worsened and he subsequently took three days completely off the bike. According to the team, in his final training before departing for Belgium, the situation seemed considerably better, and Bennati rode the Driedaagse de Panne without incident. Liquigas Stefano Zanatta commented, "Daniele absolutely did not want to miss it, and in accordance with the medical staff, I have decided to accede to his wishes."
The Green Team will also start Willems (who won the overall at the Driedaagse), Quinziato, Franzoi, Fischer, and Kuchynski on Sunday.

How is it
that Liquigas and Vanderkitten haven’t merged into a single team? This has to happen. Imagine the marketing!

Was the picture truly needed for this itty-bitty item?
Methinks it was posted to be the catalyst to another Bennalanche!
Mon coeur appartient à les forçats de la route.
Of course it was needed.
This is very important cycling news right here. Totally worthy of its own thread in the main column. Sheesh, you dare question the Omniscient Editors in such matters?
;-)
Someone must always be on standby to post Benna...
Not that I object in any matter to increasing Hottitude Awareness especially if Hottitude Awareness Day and/or Week existed when the public must be educated.

Albertina, at some point you and I need to plan an outing to make HER jealous. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
CN doesn't sound to optimistic about his thigh....
“During Driedaagse De Panne he showed good condition until the pain became acute again.”
“Considering that the participation of Daniele in the Ronde van Vlaanderen will not compromise his next scheduled races, and in respect of the strong will showed by the athlete, we have decided to let him start,” continued Corsetti.
