Another international success for Roberto Capello. The promising rider from Asti with Team GRENKE Auto Eder, already a winner in Pieve di Soligo and national time trial champion, conquered the first time trial stage of the Medzinárodné dni Cyklistiky (Slovakia), a race valid for the Junior Nations Cup. Capello covered the 7.5 km in 10'17", beating Czech rider Jakub Patras by 7" and an excellent Patrik Pezzo Rosola (Petrucci Assali Stefen Makro) by 11". Naturally, Capello donned the leader's jersey of the general classification
