Mikel Landa will spearhead Bahrain Victorious at the Giro d'Italia, with Pello Bilbao, Damiano Caruso, Gino Mäder, and Matej Mohorič among the riders to support his bid for the maglia rosa.

The in-form Bilbao, runner-up at the recent Tour of the Alps, could in theory be a Plan B as well as a domestique deluxe but the team are fully backing one man.
