Liquigas team manager Roberto Amadio has confirmed the nine riders who will take part in the Tour de France. The all-purpose squad will feature Stefano Garzelli, Danilo Di Luca, Magnus Backstedt, Luca Paolini, Michael Albasini, Patrick Calcagni, Kjell Carlström, Matej Mugerli and Manuel Quinziato. The team will be directed by Stefano Zanatta and Mario Scirea.
"We'll start with a team that may be at ease both in the flat stages and in the mountain ones," said Amadio. "We are definitely aiming at performing well, but we are perfectly aware that each day here at the Tour is like a World championship. Our goal is one stage win. We also want to be among the key-players in the decisive moments of the race."
