Peter Sagan is a great sprinter, with the ability of going over hills. He will aim for the win in Tirreno-Adriatico, for top 10 in the Ardennes classics and for the points jersey at the Tour.
Ivan Basso isn't the same climber that he was some years ago, but he's still a nice climber. He will aim for the GC in Giro and the Vuelta. Also, he will try, at the end of the season, to take some classics and GC's all season long.
Mauro Finneto he's a nice sprinter, and, as Sagan, he can get over hills. He will aim for the points jersey at the Giro and the Vuelta. Also, he will aim for the Milan-San Remo.
Sylvester Smyzd is a great helper, he will help Nibali at the Tour. Also, he will aim to win the Tour of Suisse.
If Sagan fails, we have Eros Capecchi. He's a nice climber, and also he knows how to sprint. So, a climber who knows how to sprint. He will help Basso in the Giro and the Vuelta. Also he will aim for small Italians classics.
Fabio Sabatini will be the guy before the top sprinter. He will also aim for points jersey in small races.
Nice presentation Miguel! Liquigas is a nice team with some great riders. I´m looking forward to see Nibali in France and with Sagan, Finetto, Capecchi and Sabatini you´ve got some nice talents. Good luck!
