Although the Australian team is at serious risk of not staying at World Tour level, according to Gazzetta dello Sport Zana is set to sign a two-year contract with the team, in a move that would see him climb into a strong team where he should nevertheless have freedom to ride for himself on many occasions.
Zana has just came off the back of winning the Italian national championships, and has also conquered the Adriatica Ionica race after a disappointing Giro d'Italia.

Although a strong climber, his recent win at the national championships where he outsprinted Samuele Battistella and Lorenzo Rota at the end of a long and hilly day in Italy shows that he is not a one-sided rider, and can in fact be highly competitive on other terrains which has him stand-out.
