Mikhail Ignatiev blasted onto the road racing scene this year with a stage win in Tour Méditerranéen and victory in the prestigious Trofeo Laigueglia, but the 21 year-old Russian was already marked for greatness when he scored a gold medal on the track in the 2004 Olympic points race.

Déjà vainqueur à deux reprises sur les épreuves de début de saison qui viennent à peine de débuter, le coureur de Saint-Pétersbourg n'a de cesse de se montrer à l'avant des épreuves auxquelles il participe, tant sur le Grand Prix d'Ouverture-La Marseillaise qu'au Tour Méditerranéen (vainqueur détaché à L'Estaque) ou encore à Laigueglia, à l'issue d'un final de toute beauté.
