Simon Clarke is primed and poised to show that he still has much more to offer as a professional rider than what some may think, now that he has moved to the Cannondale team.
The Australian is racing in the Giro d'Italia that started on Friday with the new responsibility of being road captain for the American team that will help their Colombian leader and two time Giro runner-up Rigoberto Uran try to win overall.
Clarke, who joined Cannondale this season from Orica-GreenEdge in which he was a 2012 founding member, says he will also get the freedom to go for a stage win himself should the opportunity arise around his new-found position.

Speaking to Cyclingnews before Saturday's second stage of the Giro, 190km from Arnhem to Nijmegen, Clarke said he appreciated his four years with Orica-GreenEdge, but that he is now focused on a new chapter of his career at Cannondale.
"I try not to to think too much about comparing it with GreenEdge. GreenEdge was an awesome part of my career.
"[But] it's a new year. I've moved on. I'm attempting new challenges. I have a new challenge with 'Rigo.' I will also have chances over the next three weeks to go up the road."
