The Giro del Trentino will offer the BMC Racing Team's climbers a chance to shine while also providing good training for the upcoming Giro d'Italia.

Good Race For Morabito

"This race is an opportunity for some of our younger guys to get experience because it's got some difficult stages," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said. "We will also try to animate the race by getting guys like Alexander Kristoff and John Murphy in the breakaways." Steve Morabito – sidelined by back pain for 10 days last month – makes his return. "I can ride again without pain and I've trained hard the past two weeks in the Swiss Alps," he said. "I'm very motivated to find my form for the Tours of Romandie and California."
