Some of cycling's big names will take part in the five-stage Bresciana stage race, the Brixia tour on July 20-23. Emanuele Sella (Panaria) and David Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) will ride alongside Peter Van Petegem (Davitamon-Lotto), Igor Astarloa (Barloworld), Franco Pellizotti (Liquigas) and Giuliano Figueras (Lampre-Fondital). 160 riders from 20 nations will take part.
The Tour organisers also plan to pay homage to the memory of three past champions, Marco Pantani, Alessio Galletti and Denis Zanette. Organisers will also make donations to local charities, the Centro Sociale di Rovato and the Centro Don Orione di Bergamo.
