The Giro di Sardegna officially opens the Italian road calendar. From February 25th to March 1st, the peloton will face five stages from Castelsardo to Olbia, along a varied and challenging route that will cross the entire island.

Bardiani-CSF 7 Saber will line up with a roster built to cover every type of stage. For the sprints, Enrico Zanoncello and Filippo Magli have been selected, while the squad is completed by Luca Covili, Vicente Rojas, Mattia Stenico, Alex Tolio and Luca Paletti, riders suited to the demanding stages and more selective routes.

In the team car, sports directors Roberto Reverberi and Alessandro Donati will guide the squad throughout the five days of racing.

"We want to perform well because it's the first race of the Italian calendar," said team manager Roberto Reverberi. "We will certainly do our best to be competitive in all stages."

The race will be broadcast live on Rai Sport from 1:40 PM for all racing days.
