Danilo 'the Killer' Di Luca, who showed fine early season form by winning last weekend's Milano-Torino, will have to wait a bit longer to get his chance at another victory. The Liquigas rider and his teammate Leonardo Bertagnolli caught the flu this week, and will be sitting out the upcoming Tirreno-Adriatico stage race.
Instead, Francesco Failli and Finn Kjell Carlström will serve as last-minute replacements to ride in support of Filippo Pozzato, winner of last week's Omloop Het Volk.
