Cycling, Cassani: 'We will train 30 meters away'

Davide Cassani waits for the green light from the dpcm which will decide the resumption of individual training: "It is a step that I completely agree with. The situation seems to be improving, the hospitals are less saturated. We cyclists will be responsible: we have been among the first to stop and we will follow the rules, on the other hand we are used to training ourselves. We will always have the mask in your pocket to use if we stop and keep a distance of 20 or 30 meters from the others ". The coach of the National team, reached by telephone by ANSA, also clarifies the outburst ("the leash is getting too tight in the neck") in which he asked the government if he could go out: "I made a wish with a respectful request, in my opinion it is it is already possible to resume individual training. I was thinking above all of the hundreds of thousands of young people: for them sport can be an outlet for maintaining a psychological balance in this difficult moment. "
    Cassani sees a restart ("running the races will be more complicated than training") but he is worried about the small companies that feed the movement at a youth level: "Ours is a sport of talent, not of technique and I'm not worried about losing a generation of potential champions.
    I just hope that the many companies that live by sponsors and volunteers and for which we manage to have a large number of members do not have to close their doors. It would be a disaster for cycling ".
