Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team, which is ahead of Uno-X in the Corsa Rosa, also finds room on this occasion, and takes a place that we will see if it includes Tom Pidcock in the package. These two teams were directly in a battle for the final wildcard, as the two Italian teams had seemed certain of it.
The VF Group - Bardiani CSF - Faizanè and
Team Polti VisitMalta of Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso, who will race their fifth consecutive corsa rosa between May 9 and June 1, close the field. They have not only talented lineups and the nationality in their favour, but show themselves very combative all year long.
Ivan Basso, part of the Polti team who will have in Davide Piganzoli a very interesting stage hunter or even GC contender, was delighted with the invitation: "The fifth invitation to the Giro d'Italia fills us with pride and increases our responsibility and desire to surprise".
"Our constant growth has allowed us to gain credibility with the organizers and the general public, building a community that began with the fans of our two founders and has come to involve the Team Polti fans of the nineties and the cycling enthusiasts of today".
