Amadori was waiting for her at the window. And as he watched the time and the races pass, he wondered why it was taking so long. So When Dainese won the Reggio Emilia stage yesterday, the technician from Romagna smiled and started waiting for more. His boys.

"There is a long list that still hasn't kept the good things seen – he reflects – but for some it's just a matter of waiting. Dainese did the Tour de l'Avenir with me at twenty years old, then the world championship and the European championship which he won in 2019It has always had particular characteristics, in the sense that it doesn't go slowly even on certain climbsIt seems tailor-made for the classics, for me it's even more than that..."

Great recovery

The blue city of the under 23s is struggling with Preparations for the Peace Race, which will be held in the Czech Republic from June 2nd to 5th, are underway.. So yesterday he just went out on the road to see the pass by Tour of Italy, but he will continue to work towards his goals. For Dainese (who is starting with Omar Bertolone after winning the 2019 European Championships) he's happy to take a break.

«It doesn't surprise me that he has won yesterday – he says – even though the stage was completely flat. It was still the eleventh day of racing and Some sprinters are starting to get tired. He's young, he's already recovering well on his own, and he can still do great things.. In the sense that he's resilient. If yesterday had been a flat classic, perhaps he would have found someone stronger. But after eleven stages, he was the strongest."

Smart Growth

It's surprising that such arguments are already being used for a 24 year old boy, but evidently the growth path chosen by the Paduan is starting to bear fruit and it brings us back to the graduality he was talking about this morning Fabrizio Turkey about Tiberius.

"I don't want to put the blame on our cycling – says Amadori – here too we do things well. However Dainese's choices were clearHe started running late, because he was doing something else before, and his progress was gradual. At a certain point He took his bag and went abroad for two years, to Holland, to the Seg Racing Academy (the continental founded by a pool of agents, which ceased its activity in 2021. In addition to Dainese, Affini and Frigo also worked there, ed.). And they have there set its seasons by choosing paths that are most suitable for its growth».

An idea for Bennati

The journey continued to Team DSM (formerly Sunweb), where Dainese landed in 2020. First year of WorldTour races, including the Tirreno-Adriatico, but without major Tours. In the last season the debut at the Vuelta, with five top-five finishesThis year, the Giro d'Italia debut, in 2022 which sees the European Championships route very fast and the World Championships route slightly more challenging. Amadori is in his place, he knows that now Dainese is Bennati's business.

«You should ask the right people – he smiles – I confirm that the European Championship is very simple and I think Bennati will soon go and see the Wollongong course. It seems like a world championship for fast people with resistance, in my opinion Dainese is 24 years old and we need to give him confidenceThey need to grow. Something I don't see happening in certain teams."

And with a final, cryptic remark, Amadori gets back on the road. The Giro has meanwhile said goodbye to Caleb EwanAnd if today's finish in Genoa saw the arrival of the breakaway, tomorrow's finish in Cuneo could offer another opportunity to sprinters capable of holding off at the Colle di Nava.
