Franzoi debuts for Lampre-Caffita in Aigle

Sunday's round 8 of the Cyclo-cross World Cup in Aigle, Switzerland will see Italian Enrico Franzoi making his debut for the new Lampre-Caffita team, which is a merger between Saeco and Lampre. He will be the first rider on the team to race in the new jersey, and in Aigle he is hoping to repeat or better his third place performance in round 7 in Hofstade, Belgium earlier this week.

"It's a circuit adapted to my characteristics, if it rains, the mud will make it even easier," said Franzoi, who returned to Italy to celebrate New Year's Eve with his family. "A dinner with friends and Elena, my girlfriend in a place in Isola Vicentina, then just like Cinderella on the stroke of midnight I returned home."
