Liberty Seguros for MSR

Liberty Seguros team manager Manolo Saiz, who is now supervising the team at Tirreno-Adriatico, has decided the team's likely final line-up for Milano-Sanremo. Young Australian Aaron Kemps will get his first start in the Primavera, replacing Carlos Barredo, who is still recovering from flu. Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano has undergone medical checks after dropping out of Paris-Nice and may be replaced with Jan Hruska. The rest of the team will comprise Alan Davis, Ángel Vicioso, Jörg Jaksche, Giampaolo Caruso, Michele Scarponi and Sergio Paulinho.

Meanwhile, Liberty rider Joseba Beloki has undergone medical examinations to try and determine the cause of a persistent infection. Beloki hopes to be well enough to ride the Setmana Catalana, March 21 - 25.
