Italian team Lampre-Caffita has announced its Italian riders participating in the National Championships, which will take place in Montesilvano, province of Pescara, on the last week-end of June. Young Tour de France hope Damiano Cunego, still suffering from mononucleosis, is missing in that list, which could be another indicator that the Giro 2004 winner will not line up in Fromentine on July 2. No official word has spread so far as to his participation in the "Grande Boucle".
