Provisional Giro d’Italia 2016 Start List Revealed
Provisional list of Twenty two teams of 9 Pro Riders taking part in the 2016 Giro d'Italia from May 6 to May 29, with race numbers. Without Alberto Contrador, last year's winner, Italian Domenico Pozzovivo (Ag2r) takes bib #1.
Only one British rider, Alex Dowsett (Movistar), is included. Alex won an individual time trial stage in the 2013 Giro and is the UK's national time trial champion.
Includes Canadian Pro riders Ryder Hesjedal (Trek-Segafredo), Hugo Houle (AG2R), Micheal Woods (Cannondale Pro Cycling Team) and Svein Tuft (Orica GreenEDGE)
Michael “Rusty” Woods came fifth in his first WorldTour stage race, the Tour Down Under, and recently took 12th in La Flèche Wallonne, earning the Mur de Huy KOM in the process. This is Woods first Grand Tour and just might end up being Cannondale’s co-leader along with Colombian Rigoberto Uran. Svein Tuft’s wore the pink jersey for a day in 2014 after his Orica-GreenEdge team triumphed in the opening team time trial. It will be Tuft’s ninth Grand Tour.
This is Hugo Houle's (AG2R) second Giro in two years. He finished 113th in his first Giro last year. Italian Domenico Pozzovivo, who suffered a serious crash in the third stage of last year’s edition is Hugo's teamate and team leader.
The full, confirmed start list will be published shortly before the race starts on May 6th.
