Cunego likely to skip Giro

Damiano Cunego (Lampre) is likely to skip the Giro d'Italia this year and concentrate on the Tour de France instead, according to www.tuttobiciweb.it. The winner of the 2004 Corsa Rosa thinks that the course in Italy doesn't suit him as well as La Grande Boucle in neighbouring France. He still will have to talk it over with his team management. Cunego won the white jersey (young rider classification) in the 2006 Tour.
