Danilo Di Luca (Liquigas-Bianchi) is setting his sights on the Giro d'Italia this year, and will not target the late spring classics as he did in 2005. Di Luca won't start in the Amstel Gold Race, as a result.
By the same token, last year's Liege-Bastogne-Liege winner Alexandre Vinokourov will skip it this year in favour of the Tour de France.
