Saunier Duval scored two stage wins in last year's Volta a Catalunya, with Leonardo Piepoli (also second on GC) and Iñigo Cuesta, and is optimistic of more success this year. Team director Joxean "Matxin" Fernández is returning similar goals in mind. The roster for the race is Riccardo Riccò, Christophe Rinero, José Alberto Benítez, Juan José Cobo, David de la Fuente, Luciano Pagliarini and David Cañada.
