Simoni to debut in World Cup

Gilberto Simoni will make his debut in the Mountain Bike World Cup this weekend in the Canary Islands. "My legs are good. Leaving Valenciana I felt prepared," said the 35 year-old rider from Trento to La Gazzetta dello Sport. "The course is all gravel, not very technical, so not very suited to my skills."

The 91 kilometre run will be the first test for the Italian National Champion Marathon Mountain Bike champion. There are two more rounds this July, the 8th and 15th, which after the Giro d'Italia will be his major objectives.
