Damiano Cunego will be at the start line at Stettimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali. The Italian rider who crashed at Strade Bianche earlier in March, will be the Nippo Vini Fantini leader. 

Grega Bole, Daniele Colli, Alessandro Bisolti, Kazushige Kuboki, Genki Yamamoto, Giacomo Berlato and Antonio Nibali will also represent the Italian team.

"I’m really happy to be back in an official competition just two weeks after my crash. My strong determination to come back gives me the chance to be there. I was training hard last week and I realized that I am good enough to race", the former Giro d'Italia winner explained in a press release.
