,,Strade Bianche is a real test for my performance after two months of riding outside Europe and of hard training sessions. These are exciting races and have all the characteristics of the classics, even though they're missing cobbled stones. They are difficult, you don't know what can happen and they are a challenge. Last year, we demonstrated great team work with Moreno. I think it can be a key to further success. Many of my opponents would like to show their performance, but we will do everything to beat them.
