Cycling World Championships: Dagnoni, 'positive track balance, we have great ambitions'

The Italian Track Cycling World Championship in Shanghai ended with fifth place for the Consonni-Galli pair in the men's Madison (won by Denmark). The overall result is four medals (one gold, two silver and one bronze), and Cordiano Dagnoni, president of the FCI, says he is "satisfied".

"It was a very satisfying world championship - his words at the end of the race - It was the first qualifying test for the Los Angeles Games, we have many road riders who dedicate themselves to the track only at the last minute, so even the fourth, fifth and sixth places are very precious because the final objective is the Games".

"The highlight were the podiums of Milan with world records and of Ganna in the individual pursuit and the two silvers in the team pursuit - continued Dagnoni - We return home very satisfied. We think positively, we look forward because we have many ambitions for the future".
