A Szöszi Armstrong nyomában!
Cunego weds before TT test in Houston
"Tuesday afternoon, Damiano Cunego has married his long-time partner, Margherita, in a small ceremony in Villafranca (Veneto). Before going on honeymoon (10 days in Mexico) with his new wife and daughter, Ludovica, the winner of the 2004 Giro d'Italia will test his time trial position.
Cunego and Giuseppe Martinelli join with aero-guru John Cobb this Saturday in Houston, Texas at the same wind tunnel used by Lance Armstrong during some of his testing. Cobb will help the Italians perfect Cunego's positioning for time trials, a discipline where Il Piccolo Principe is steadily improving.
"I don't think that the positioning will have to be completely new," explained Cunego in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. "On the other hand, with the materials I expect to discover something interesting. I am very curious."
Cunego lost only 31 seconds to Markus Fothen (Gerolsteiner) in this year's Tour de France final time trial. The unexpected and impressive result allowed the 25 year-old to keep the young rider's white jersey and win the competition overall.
"To lose 1 second every 1000 meters will be a little bit better," continued Cunego. "It is important is to not have mishaps, and at the Tour I realized it was possible." Cunego went on to finish his first Tour 12th overall.
Since ending his season on 31 August, Cunego has continued riding. "My rides are in the morning; up to four hours." After a break for his honeymoon, Cunego plans on passing the winter training in Toscana. "I don't think I will return to Sicilia like last year," said the rider from Verona. "I hope for a mild winter, which will allow me to locate myself in Toscana."
"For sure I won't be doing the Tour and Giro," finished Cunego regarding his 2007 grand tour plans. "I will aim for the Corsa Rosa, and before that Liège, a classic I am able win.""
Szóval a Kisherceg tegnap elvette álmai asszonyát, gyermeke anyját Margerithát feleségül. Az ifjú pár, és a kislányuk Mexikóba megy nászútra, de ellőte útba ejtik az a houstoni szélcsatorna laborítóriumot, ahol Armstrong is gyakorolta az időfutam menést.
Szóval a Szöszi még fejletebb a Főnöknél, mert az ő margerithája legalább nem hízlal. Biztos nagyon régi módi vagyok, de számomra nagyon vicces, hogy a nászutasok a közös gyerekükkel kelnek útra. Az én időmben még fordított volt a sorrend. :-)
