Russian Svetlana Boubnenkova, together with her PMB Fenixs teammates Elena Eifler, Alexandra Noehles, Vanessa Saccomani, Elena Shalaeva, Vania Rossi and Lisa Ardissone, is preparing for the new season in Riviera Ligure on the northwestern Italian coastline. Boubnenkova and co. will ride the roads that will be used for La Primavera Rosa - the first European women's World Cup - in a month's time.

"I'm pleased with how I am going in training, because my teammates and I have found the climate here in Liguria to be exceptional," said 'la Bouba'. "We have done some excellent preparation because we did not miss even one day of training."
