Italian Grand Tour starts on Friday

Małgorzata Jasińska, Mavi García, Eider Merino and Aude Biannic show off new Endura jerseys, just over 24 hours before UCI Women's WorldTour's hallmark event starts with a 15km TTT in Verbania on Friday.

The Jorge Sanz-directed Movistar Team squad present at the 29th Giro Rosa landed in northern Italy on Wednesday, looking to take advantage of the two days prior to the event to train over the 15km TTT course which will open the race in Verbania on Friday.

Before the last ride prior to that time trial, all four Blue national champions showed off their new Endura jerseys for the upcoming months. Małgorzata Jasińska, Mavi García, Eider Merino and Aude Biannic will represent, together with Lorena Llamas, Rachel Neylan and Gloria Rodríguez, a Telefónica-backed squad excited towards their biggest challenge in the 2018 UCI Women’s WorldTour.
