The Giro d'Italia is now just one week away, and Cyclingnews' countdown continues with this video of 10 riders to watch at the 100th edition of the Corsa Rosa.
This special edition of the race has attracted one of the deepest general classification fields in years, and there was no shortage of space in our video for bona fide contenders for the famous maglia rosa.
Vincenzo Nibali leads his new Bahrain-Merida team with number one on his back after winning last year's race – his second victory at his home Grand Tour. Movistar's Nairo Quintana is arguably his biggest rival and is attempting the Giro-Tour de France double this year. He is the only other former winner on the start line after becoming the first Colombian winner in 2014.
