Rogers to lead T-Mobile in Coppi-Bartali

Reigning world time trial champion Michael Rogers will spearhead the T-Mobile squad next week's Settimana Ciclista Internazionale di Coppi e Bartali, which begins on Tuesday, March 21, in hilly terrain on the Adriatic coast.

Lining up alongside the 26-year old Australian will be four more riders from T-Mobile's Tour de France core squad, namely Giuseppe Guerini, Serhiy Honchar, Matthias Kessler and Oscar Sevilla. While Rogers and company travel to Italy's Adriatic coast fresh off a training period following their first races, Kessler makes his season debut.
