For Pro Continental squad Acqua & Sapone Caffè Mokambo, the team will place their trust in Rinaldo Nocentini, who recently finished a creditable 14th on general classification at Tirreno Adriatico. Said team manager Franco Gini: "We have a very competitive team; Rinaldo Nocentini is the man who has a good finish, and we also have two important athletes like Arekeev and Soler that are in optimal condition and can go for a long escape.
Continued Gini, "At Tirreno-Adriatico, I have seen an excellent team that was severely penalised after the cancellation of the stage to San Giacomo because of bad weather, but have riders that can surely give a lot of satisfaction."
