Lampre-Caffita ready for Volta a Portugal

Gilberto Simoni will captain the Lampre-Caffita team in the upcoming Volta a Portugal, which will run between August 5-15. "I think that with Simoni almost recovered from the bronchitis that hampered him during the recent Brixia Tour, we can do great things, along with Szmyd, Marzano and Glomser," said team director Maurizio Piovani.

Lampre's new stagiaire Francesco Gavazzi will also ride in the race. "For him, the Volta a Portugal will be a useful test to launch into the world of the professionals and the major races," added Piovani.
