Bennati signs for Movistar
Experienced �ไ�Italian joins after four years at Tinkoff





168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniele Bennati has signed for Movistar for the 2017 season. The veteran joins the Spanish squad after four years with Tinkoff, which will ♔disband at the end of the current♐ campaign.
A professional since 2002, Bennati ꦫhas raced for Acqua e Sapone, Phonak, Lampre, Liquigas, Leopard Trek and Tinkoff and will now continue in the peloton for a 16th season in the colours o💦f Movistar.
Bennati began his professional career as part of Mario Cipollini’s lead-out train and then became a lead sprinter in his own right during his spells at Lampre and Liquigas, where he won a brace of Tour de F🔜rance stages in 2007 and♓ three Giro d’Italia stages the following year.
The switch to Tinkoff (then Saxo Bank𝓡) at the beginning of the 2013 season marked a change in emphasis for Bennati, as he rode in the ꦑservice of Alberto Contador and later Peter Sagan.
The 35-year-old’s 2016 season began wi♚th a stage win at the Ruta del Sol but was then interrupted by a crash at Milan-San Remo that left him with broken vertebrae. Bennati returned to action in July and went on to claim stage victory on the opening day of the Tour of Denma🔴rk.
Bennati is Movistar’s first signing for the 2017 campaign and is the 12th Tinkoff rider to confirm a team f🥀or next season. Peter Sagan has signed for Bora-Hansgrohe, Roman Kreuziger is going to Orica-BikeExchange and Manuele Mori has joined the new Bahrain-Merida team, while Alberto Contador is set to join Trek-Segafredo, though the move has yet to be officially announced.
