Alessandro Petacchi, who has been out of action since he fractured his hand in a fit of anger after stage 15 of the Tour of Spain, will get back on the bike for the Trofeo Città di Borgomanero on October 15th. Petacchi will pair up with his Milram teammate Alberto Ongarato for the 52 km long two-man time trial event. Also on the start list are new world champions Paolo Bettini and Fabian Cancellara, and Sergei Gonchar, who held leaders' jerseys in both this year's Giro d'Italia and Tour de France.
