Bettini better for Liège

Paolo Bettini (Quick Step) had his final physiotherapy session yesterday ahead of his return to racing at today's Giro del Trentino. The Italian will contest the three day race in his homeland in preparation for this weekend's Liège - Bastogne - Liège.

Bettini was forced to miss the Amstel Gold Race earlier this week after a fall at Spain's País Vasco left him unable to train with a broken rib. As a result of his program change, Bettini will also sit out Flèche Wallonne tomorrow.
