Alessandro Ballan’s cycling history has been marked by the style of an attacker, born to be a man of the classics, with a particular flair for those of the north, where his temperament is at its best and where he has won one of the most important races on the international calendar.
A legendary victory at the 2008 World Championships in Varese, where he triumphed as a true outsider, wearing the world champion’s jersey on Italian soil, one of the greatest satisfactions an Italian athlete can ask for.
His character as a champion is partly shaped and nurtured by his Flemish side, as a guy inextricably linked to cobblestones and the call of the north. Flanders 2007 was his greatest triumph on the cobbles, through a sprint on the Geraardsbergen and by outsprinting the Belgian Leif Hoste.
