Savoldelli focused on '08 Giro

Two time Giro d'Italia winner Paolo Savoldelli is aiming to contest the famed Grand Tour, where he won in 2002 and again in 2005, when he joins his new LPR Professional Continental squad in 2008. The Italian, who announced his move from ProTour squad Astana to the powerful Swiss outfit last week, is hopeful that the team will be offered a wildcard for next year's race.

"My main objective remains the Giro d'Italia," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I am hoping for an invite from the organisers. "As far as the rest of the calendar is concerned, it is too early to make plans."
