Liberty without a leader

Spanish team Liberty has sent a versatile squad to the 89th Giro d'Italia. Starting on Saturday in Seraing, the riders have gathered in Southern Belgium on Wednesday, training in fine weather conditions. While the team directed by Marino Lejarreta might not have an ultimate leader in the upcoming Grand Tour, Lejarreta is still hopeful that his riders will achieve some good results.

The team "has a bit of everything, young riders and people with experience," according to the directeur sportif. "We do not have a clear leader to go for the victory, but on the other hand we have several riders with possibilities. For Scarponi, Unai Osa and Caruso, the challenge will be to fight for a place on the podium. It will be tough, but they have a lot of ambitions."
