Elia Viviani's last time on the track "leading" the national cycling team full of young talents ended on the top step of the podium : the 36-year-old cyclist from Verona, who has already announced his retirement, won the gold medal at the Track Cycling World Championships , in the elimination race.

“The last dance” is the writing that appeared on the shirts of the Italian team that thus greeted Viviani's gold in Santiago, Chile.

"It was the finale I dreamed of," the Italian said. "I'm grateful to cycling for everything it's given me. Looking back, I see a 16-year career always at the top."
