Olympic and world champions in team pursuit with stratospheric times, bronze in the omnium for Elia Viviani in Tokyo and nine other charms at the Roubaix Worlds (three gold: Elia Viviani and Letizia Paternoster on the race to the ‘elimination, Martina Fidanza on the scratch; three in silver: Jonathan Milan on the pursuit, Simone Consonni-Michele Scartezzini on the American, the women’s team pursuit; three in bronze: Filippo Ganna on the pursuit, Elia Viviani and Elisa Balsamo on the omnium).
