«Albania, we are coming»: this is the claim that the XdS Astana Team has chosen to accompany the official announcement of the team that will compete in the Giro d'Italia. It will be a team with strong Italian colors, as it will field Nicola Conci, Lorenzo Fortunato (recently protagonist in Romandia), Fausto Masnada, Christian Scaroni (his season start has been truly excellent) and the experienced Diego Ulissi, already capable of winning eight stages of the pink race in his career. With them will be the German Max Kanter, who won yesterday on Belgian roads, the Kazakh Anton Kuzmin and especially the Dutchman Wout Poels who just won the Tour of Turkey and will aim to take care of the general classification in the pink race.
