For these three races, the telephone squad will line up with their two Italian riders: Giovanni Visconti, winner of the 2009 Coppa Bernocchi and 3rd place finisher at last year’s Coppa Bernocchi, and Marzio Bruseghin. Along them will be brothers José and Jesús Herrada, David López, Ángel Madrazo, Enrique Sanz and Branislau Samoilau.
