Giant-Alpecin for Milano-Torino and Il Lombardia
Giant-Alepcin today announced the team’s rosters for Wednesday’s Milano-Torino and Saturday’s Il Lombardia. The rosters for both races are almost identical, with the exception of adding Tom Dumoulin in place of Martijn Tusveld for Lombardia.
Simon Geschke will lead the charge for the team at Milano-Torino. Team coach Aike Visbeek said the finale in the Italian 1.HC race, which features two short, sharp climbs in the last 25km, suits the German rider well.

"We have selected a strong team with the objective of racing aggressively here in Italy and aiming to be present in the breakaways," Visbeek said. "The important moment of the parcours will be the finale where the riders have to twice tackle the Superga climb on the outskirts of Torino, so we have to stay attentive and be at the front of the bunch.
"Our aim is to perform well with Simon as the finale suits his characteristics. For Warren [Barguil] we will see how he can compete and see how he has recovered since La Vuelta."
Visbeek said Dumoulin will be the team’s supported rider in Il Lombardia, the final WorldTour race of the season.
