Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Caffita) will return to racing at the end of this week, leading the Lampre-Caffita team in the Brixia Tour (July 22-24). The young talent has been out of action for nearly two months after he was diagnosed with mononucleosis in the spring, which destroyed his chances of winning the Giro d'Italia for a second time.
"When they told me I would come back to racing I immediately went to check my bike," said Cunego. "I'm so happy, at the beginning of June I was even able to do more than 2 hours training. Only in July I started to feel better and improve the quantity and the quality of my training."
