Riccardo Riccò takes Japan Cup

SAUNIER DUVAL-PRODIR is closing this season with flying colors, as rider Riccardo Riccò has just won the prestigious Japan Cup, re-creating manager Mauro Gianetti´s feat exactly 10 years later. Riccardo´s 2006 season was marked by many good performances, especially this weekend, one week after the Giro di Lombardia. The podium in Japan was filled out by Ruggero Marzoli (Lampre-Fondital) and Vladimir Gusev (Discovery Channel), while another SAUNIER DUVAL-PRODIR rider, Manuele Mori, finished in 6th place.
