20 March 2019 12:31
Matteo Trentin will lead a strong Mitchelton-Scott squad at this Saturday's Milan-San Remo, and the Italian says he'll start the one-day race "with better form than last year", when he finished off the pace in 37th place. The 29-year-old's best place at La Primavera came in 2016, when he finished 10th in a bunch sprint won by FDJ's Arnaud Démare. "I think I'm coming into Milan-San Remo with better form than last year, and also with a smoother approach," Trentin said on his team's website. "I've done my homework, so let's see on Saturday.ADVERTISEMENT "We have a really strong team, which we can see from our team's performances at Paris-Nice and at Tirreno-Adriatico," Trentin added. The European road race champion will be well supported by experienced South African road race champion Daryl Impey, Australian Michael Hepburn, Denmark's Chris Juul-Jensen and Slovenian Luka Mezgec, while Edoardo Affini and Rob Stannard will race their first Milan-San Remo. The team also has the confidence of having won the race before – back in 2012 as Orica-GreenEdge, when Simon Gerrans took victory ahead of Fabian Cancellara and Vincenzo Nibali.
