Martinelli, who won everything with Pantali and Nibali, relaunches: “Ready to be the coach”

It’s impressive to hear it: “I’m leaving Astana after 15 years, and I’m leaving the role in the flagship that I’ve always had, if we exclude 2008 where I always had a membership anyway, since 1986. So, 38 years and 39 seasons”, says Giuseppe Martinelli . From right, 9 great laps from Pantani to Nibali. “But I’m not ready to ‘just’ be a grandfather. The role of blue coach? I’d like it,” admits the coach from Brescia who – interestingly – also managed (at Lampre) Daniele Bennati, the current coach of the national team.
