Lawson Craddock and EF Pro Cycling teammates modeling the latest garish team kit. Jonathan Caicedo is pleased he is a national (Ecuadorian) champion so he is somewhat exempted.		share this photo
The view from the back was pretty busy too. Looks like the EF Pro Cycling had difficulty sorting through a bunch of design candidates and then decided to select them all.		share this photo

Steven KRUIJSWIJK (JUMBO - VISMA): “The Giro was not on my original race program but after the set-back I suffered at the Dauphiné, it was more realistic to focus on this srace. I have good and bad memories from the Giro, especially in 2016. I’ve learned a lot from that experience. Now I know how to handle a lead. I’d like to get into the Maglia Rosa again this year. I haven’t raced much but the Giro is quite hard at the beginning, so after the first four stages in Sicily, I’ll know how good I am.”		share this photo

Geraint THOMAS (INEOS)		share this photo
INEOS with Worlds TT champ Filippo Ganna: “It's my first Giro and I'm really excited. Knowing that there is an ITT on the opening stage that suits me, thrills me. I'll try to stay calm and give it all on Saturday, then I'll put myself at the service of our captain.”		share this photo
Geraint THOMAS (INEOS): “I'm excited but I know that I'll also have to stay calm. We certainly have one of the best teams and I'm looking forward to those three weeks of hard racing.”		share this photo
MITCHELTON - SCOTT led by Simon Yates: “Having won Tirreno-Adriatico doesn't mean that I'm the favorite for the Giro but I'll do my best to win it. From my last participation I've learnt to stay calm in this race but I know it'll be hard from the beginning with important stages to start with in Sicily.”		share this photo
Elia VIVIANI (COFIDIS): “For every Italian rider, the Giro d'Italia is a dream. After taking my first success in the 2015 edition of the Corsa Rosa and the four stage victories enriched by the Maglia Ciclamino in 2018, I return to the Giro to try to bring home some good results for me and my team.”		share this photo
Making his first appearance at the Giro, Peter Sagan (BORA - HANSGROHE): “I came out of the Tour de France pretty well but I’ve never done two Grand Tours in such a short period of time. The Giro was my big goal for this year anyway so we’ve decided to go ahead with this goal. I want to do my best. If I can win a couple of stages, it’ll be great. After a few days, I’ll see if I can fight for the Maglia Ciclamino.”		share this photo
A former winner of the KOM jersey, Giulio CICCONE (Trek - Segafredo) seemingly has his eye on the top prize this year		share this photo
But of course, former winner, Vincenzo NIBALI is the team leader of Trek - Segafredo: “After Tirreno-Adriatico I felt my condition growing day by day and at the World Championships, I felt much better. Now I'm ready for the Giro. It is very exciting to be able to race a few stages of the Giro on the roads of my region, in Sicily. I don't want to make any predictions, I will try to do my best, and then we will see what we have achieved. There are many strong riders who will try to get on the podium in Milan: Thomas has the advantage of the ITT on his side. Fuglsang, Yates and Kruijswijk are also among the main contenders. I believe that the stage of the Laghi di Cancano could be decisive for the general classification.”		share this photo
