Trek-Segafredo announce team to support Gianluca Bambila at the Giro d'Italia

Trek-Segafredo has announced its line up for the upcoming Giro d'Italia. A mix of young and experienced riders will tackle the first grand tour of the season

Throughout the last two days, the main sponsors of the team have been in charge of revealing the line-up of the American team for the 2018 Giro d'Italia. The roster will support one rider for the General Classification but will also hunt for stage victories.

Jarlinson Pantano is one rider who will probably target a stage win if the opportunity arrises.

"We are bringing a mixture of experience and young riders to the start, with the main goal to support Gianluca Brambilla in his chase for a great result," said Trek-Segafredo's Luca Guerciñena.

"I am confident our 8 riders will make each other stronger and motivate one another to perform well as we also hunt for stage wins. I think we can be proud of our line-up for the first Grand Tour of the season."
