Footon-Servetto brings an incredibly young roster to this year's tour, with 8 of their 9 riders riding their first tour. While some of these young riders do show quite a bit of promise, they shouldn't be expected to make any waves in THIS year's tour. The one man who does have experience is Eros Capecchi.
Capecchi will be carrying the banner for Servetto this year, and I assume that any success they may enjoy would come from him. He is not a strong enough rider to contend in the GC, but he can steal a stage if his young team plays their cards right. If they find the right time to launch him out of the peloton, Capecchi may be taking himself home a victory. I still think this would be a far-fetched idea, though it is certainly a welcomed one to the struggling Servetto team.
Full Lineup:
Eros Capecchi
Manuel Cardoso
Fabio Felline
Markus Eibegger
Iban Mayoz
Arkaitz Duran
Alberto Benitez
Rafael Valls
Aitor Perez
