Elia Viviani has won gold inelimination for the World Track Championship 2022 clearly beating the New Zealander Corbin Strong and the british Ethan Vernon.. The cyclist from Verona, world champion a year ago in Roubaix, has confirmed himself as world champion at the velodrome in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. After the Olympic gold at the Omnium in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and the bronze at Tokyo 2021, Viviani gave a sumptuous performance, as the true leader of the blue group, which led to the victory and allowed her to react to the disappointment of the seventh place in the Omnium.
Perfect run by Elia Viviani, who was very attentive and focused in the first part and then showed all his explosiveness in the final. The 1989 class didn’t miss a single move in the last three sprints and in the last one it widened over the New Zealander, overtaking him on the penultimate straight and giving the rival no chance to recover.
Now Italy is in second place in the medal table with 4 golds and 3 silvers behind the Netherlands, third place for France.
