Lining up for the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team at the upcoming Giro d'Italia will be: Benoît Joachim, Matt White, Manuel "Triki" Beltrán, Tom Danielson, Paolo Savoldelli, Jason McCartney, Viatcheslav "Eki" Ekimov, Pavel Padrnos and Chechu Rubiera. Sean Yeats and Lorenzo Lapage will be directing the squad in the first of the three Grand Tours this year, the team has announced.
Defending champion and 2-time winner Paolo Savoldelli will undoubtedly be the team leader for Discovery Channel, but with the amount of climbing in this year's Giro, "one has to wonder how Tom Danielson will factor into the DC equation," according to thepaceline.com.
