Pozzato does Milan-Sanremo; Bettini out of Mallorca

Filippo Pozzato (Quick.Step) will carry out a reconnaissance of the final kilometres of Milan Sanremo on Tuesday, February 8. Pozzato will be joined by a few of his teammates, and take in the famous Cipressa and Poggio climbs.

Quick.Step's Paolo Bettini won't take part in the third stage of the Challenge Illes Balears tomorrow, because of the recurrence of a throat infection that he had in middle of January. Bettini and the team's medical staff will decide tomorrow if he will race to the last two days of the Challenge.
