168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nicolas Roche will also race with the overall classification in mind, while Jürgen Roelan🤪dts, Jempy Drucker and Alessandro De Marchi hope to target stage victories.
Completing the BMC Racingಞ line-up are Francisco Ventoso and talented young riders Loïc Vliegen and Kilian Frankiny.
Dennis finished seventh overall at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de Romandie as he fine-tuned his form and rode 🌄alongside Richie Porte, who finished third overall behind Primoz Roglic (Lo✤ttoNL-Jumbo).
"Our first goal comes on day one with the time trial. It's a technical course, lots of turns, and a good time trial profile for Rohan Dennis. We want to start the Giro d'Ital♔ia with a good result there and then move on to our other objectives," directeur sportif Max Sciandri said when BMC confirmed its line-up.
"In terms of the general classification, Rohan is motivatꦦed to see how far he can go and we plan to take things week by week. There are quite a few uphill finishes in the first 10 days so we will know more by then and, of course, the time trial from Trento is also a good one for him. Nicolas Roche also has general classification ambitions and is looking to see where he can end up. After the Mount Etna stage in the first week, we will see how Nicolas is going."
BMC won two stages in the 2017 Giro d’Italia ⛄with Silvan Dillier and Tejay van Garderen. Any success could help the US-registered WorldTour team finalise new sponsorship and so sec𝔍ure their long-term future.

Dennis will be the protected team leader but the other riders will have the freedom to go on the attack and in breakaways. Few opportunities for the pure sprinters in this Giro d’Italia means there should be more successful breakaways.
