Marcello Pavarin

This 26-year old Italian comes into his own in the one-day races when the terrain is flat or slightly hilly. Although he is no fan of bad weather, he thrives well under such circumstances. In the past season, he saw up close that his team mate Pim Ligthart won in the Hel van Mergelland. Marcello Pavarin himself came in fifth. Also in the Tour of Denmark he matched his promise. This Italian helper can certainly prove his worth again in the 2012 cycling season and he has gained great appreciation from his team mates. Meanwhile, he keeps his eyes and ears open in order to obtain the desired experience to one day shine in the classics himself and, of course, looking out for that moment when he can take his own chances.
