Ferrand-Prévot to race Giro Rosa; organizers announce 19 teams
World champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will return to the 2015 Giro d'Italia Internazionale Femminile set to start on July 3 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, according to press release from the organizers of the race. The Rabo-Liv rider has struggled with a sciatic injury since the end of May, which caused her to pull out of the mountain bike World Cup in Albstadt.
Ferrand-Prévot will lead her Rabo-Liv team at the 26th annual event alongside 18 other teams, race organizers confirmed on Wednesday. Also on the start line will be current World Cup series leader Lizzie Armitstead (Boels-Dolmans), Valentina Scandolara (Orica-AIS), Annemiek Van Vleuten (Bigla), Elena Cecchini (Lotto Soudal Ladies).
