Fernando Gaviria leads Movistar Team focused around stage wins at the Giro d'Italia

The Movistar Team for the upcoming Giro d'Italia has been unveiled with Fernando Gaviria set to lead the team's hopes for success with the in-form Colombian targeting stage wins.

Fresh off the back of a dominant sprint win on the final stage of the Tour de Romandie, Gaviria immediately turned his attention to the Giro d'Italia in his post-race interview. The 28-year-old is a former five-time stage winner at the race and will be hoping to add to that tally over the coming three weeks.

Alongside Gaviria will be the American time-trial specialist Will Barta, 25-year-old German, Max Kanter plus the vastly experienced José Joaquín Rojas and Albert Torres. Einer Rubio will be hoping to mount a general classification challenge, supported by Gonzalo Serrano and Carlos Verona.

Movistar Team for the Giro d'Italia:

Fernando Gaviria, Will Barta, Max Kanter, José Joaquín Rojas, Albert Torres, Gonzalo Serrano and Carlos Verona.
