These are the words of Ermanno Leonardi , Managing Director of Specialized BC Italia:
It's the 2014 Tour de France. Vincenzo Nibali, captain of the Astana is wearing a yellow jersey. It is July 9th and the fifth stage of 155km runs, which starts from Yepres (BEL) and arrives in Aremberg (FRA). It is also a rainy day, an unfavorable condition because many stretches will face each other on the Paris-Roubaix cobblestones. Although Vincenzo is not a specialist in this type of insidious fund, he can count on one more weapon to defend the yellow jersey, his S-Works Roubaix.
The stage is exciting and in contention there are certainly Contador, Cancellara and Sagan. Although not winning the stage (the Astana captain will finish third together with his teammate Fuglsgang), Nibali puts an important seal on the yellow jersey that will lead him to the victory of his first Tour de France.
While we support each other during this time that puts everyone to the test, we continue to believe more than ever in the power of the bike to heal, inspire and meet the needs of cyclists all over the world; discover all our initiatives in support of the community at the link: https://www.specialized.com/it/it/about-us
