By Susan Westemeyer

Team Barloworld has filled its squad for the 2008 season. After signing Italian sprinter Enrico Gasparotto and Austrian Christian Pfannberger, the team has filled the 19th and last spot with a young neo-pro rider with a familiar name, Marco Corti.

The 21 year-old happens to be the son of General Manager Claudio Corti. He has had a successful career as an amateur in Italy and rode for the Italian Junior team at the 2004 World Championships in Verona. He also rode for Barloworld this fall as a stagiaire.
