Di Luca To Defend Giro Lead Aboard Prototype TT Bike!

Saturday's penultimate stage of the Giro d'Italia will see Danilo Di Luca defending his lead of 2'24" over Andy Schleck in a 43 kilometer individual time trial. Di Luca will race aboard a prototype Cannondale Slice time trial bike that has been the topic of conversation since it was first spotted in the opening stage's team time trial, a stage that Team Liquigas won and began their successful Giro run.

As with all of Cannondale's high-performance bicycle designs, our latest offerings were designed with feedback from our professional racers. Team Liquigas riders Franco Pellizotti, Vincenzo Nibali and maglia rosa wearer Danilo Di Luca were the first to ride these great new technologies... and the results were fantastic.

Danilo Di Luca was the first to report back after the stage - "Questa bici e' uno spettacolo! (This bike is spectacular!)"

Look for more details on future Cannondale product being developed with Team Liquigas and the rest of our sponsored athletes!
