Pellizotti points to Tour podium

Franco Pellizotti has targeted a podium finish at the Tour de France after his third place overall in the Giro d'Italia last month. Team Liquigas' Italian will co-captain a team with Roman Kreuziger and Vincenzo Nibali.

"I won on Blockhaus, I am ready to be a player and the [Giro] podium finish is comparable for the Tour, because the maillot jaune Carlos Sastre came to win," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
