Pozzato to Tour du Haut Var

"The third place in Laigueglia has given me confidence; I will aim for a better placing in the Tour du Haut Var," confirmed Filippo Pozzato (Liquigas) to Rai. The French race is scheduled for this Sunday, February 25, and will function as another test for the 2006 Milano-Sanremo winner, who hopes to repeat victory in the race this year.

Pippo has confirmed other pre-Sanremo races in his schedule. Following Tour du Haut Var, he will race the next weekend in Belgium in the Het Volk and Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne, and return to Italy for the Tirreno-Adriatico, a race he won in 2003 while riding under Giancarlo Ferretti.
