Like many teams the Lampre riders will use special bikes. Baldato and Ballan will have carbon frame, while the other blue-fucsia
cyclists will use iron ones: Murro and Bandiera will have cyclocross frames. Forks will be in carbon, with special Vittoria
tyres of 27”. Mechanics give the chance to the riders to use an additional frame set on the handlebar. After yesterdays
training, the riders had to decide which gears they’ll use during the race.
Tomorrows edition
of Paris-Roubaix will be probably the last one for Fabio Baldato and Paolo Fornaciari. Both riders will retire after
the current season. “I will give my best, I will save no energies," Fornaciari said. "In my 12th Roubaix, I want to achieve
an outstanding performance for me and for the team." Fabio Baldato will start at his 14th Paris - Roubaix tomorrow. Baldato
said: “I’m in a very good shape, I will ride with the top: Sunday will be an emotional day."
Alessandro Ballan will lead the team at the French cobblestone classic.
Lampre roster for Paris - Roubaix 2008: Baldato, Ballan, Bandiera, Bossoni, Fornaciari, Mori, Murro and
Napolitano.
