In the Roubaix velodrome, Ganna, Milan, Bertazzo and Consonni beat France in 3’47 ”192. The world title was missing since Perth 1997. We have no rivals on 4 kilometers now. Bronze to Great Britain
The team pursuit World Cup returns to blue after 24 years. The quartet Olympic champion in Tokyo, made up of Filippo Ganna, Jonathan Milan, Simone Consonni and Liam Bertazzo (who also replaced Francesco Lamon in the final), beat France in 3’47 “192 in the final on the track of the Jean Stablinski velodrome in Roubaix . Bronze went to Great Britain who overtook Denmark (young quartet that fell apart after the third kilometer) in 3’51 ”205.
History – Perth 1997, in Australia: under the guidance of coach Sandro Callari, Capelli, Citton, Collinelli and Benetton repeat the gold of Manchester 1996. Since then exactly twenty years must pass, Hong Kong 2017 World Cup, for the bronze with Ganna , Bertazzo, Consonni and Lamon (3’56 ”935, final against Great Britain). Bronze repeated at Apeldoorn 2018 always with these four riders (3’54 “606), and in Berlin 2020 with the inclusion of Milan (Ganna, Lamon, Consonni and Scartezzini): 3’47” 511. Now the team pursuit quartet no longer misses a beat. On the top of the world on August 31, 1996, at the Manchester World Championships, with the new world record 4’00 “958, the four Azzurri conquered the Olympic gold on August 4 on the Izu velodrome in Tokyo with 3’42” 032, frightening world record at an average of 64.856 km per hour (equal to 18.01 meters per second), bringing this gold back to Italy after 61 years. And now a new fantastic adventure that lasts four kilometers at almost 70 km per hour on average!
