Rogers & Ullrich to ride the Giro

By Susan Westemeyer

T-Mobile newcomer, world time trial champion Michael Rogers plans on riding the Giro d'Italia this year. "I have discussed the decision with all the team directors and decided to insert the corsa rosa in my program for 2006," he told www.bicirace.com. "The prologue in Seraing and the time trial stage in Ponedera are very much suited to my style," he said. "Plus there are some medium mountain stages. I think I am in the position to play a role in the overall classification, even though the last week has a very hard profile."
