One day before the start of the race, Giro d’Italia organisers have released the final start list for the Grand Tour. A total of 22 teams will take part in the race; the eighteen WorldTour squads, plus the wildcard squads of Farnese Vini – Selle Italia, Androni Giocattoli – Venezuela, Colnago CSF Inox and the German NetApp team.
Of the 198 riders in the race, by far the greatest number come from Italy. 58 riders hail from the country, with Spain (19), Belgium (15) and France (13) the other double-digit nations.
Four American riders will ride, namely prologue contender Taylor Phinney (BMC Racing Team), Christian Vande Velde, Peter Stetina and Tyler Farrar (Garmin Barracuda). Sky Procycling contains each of the British riders, namely world champion Mark Cavendish, Peter Kennaugh, Ian Stannard, Jeremy Hunt and Geraint Thomas.
The English-speaking contingent also includes four Canadians - overall contender Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin Barracuda), Orica GreenEdge duo Christian Meier and Svein Tuft, plus FDJ BigMat’s Dominique Rollin – seven Australians, namely Matt Goss, Jack Bobridge, Brett Lancaster (Orica GreenEdge), Adam Hansen (Lotto Belisol), Mark Renshaw, Graeme Brown (Rabobank) and Luke Roberts (Saxo Bank) – plus the Kiwis Jesse Sergent (RadioShack Nissan) and Jack Bauer (Garmin Barracuda).
