Premier Tech is co-owned by Canadian-Israeli entrepreneur Sylvan Adams with former Canadian cycling star Steve Bauer one of the team’s sports directors.

The Premier tech Giro team also includes Australians Sebastian Berwick and Simon Clarke, Italy’s Marco Frigo, American Matthew Riccitello, Wales’ Stevie Williams and Denmark’s Mads Wurtz Schmidt.

“We have a diverse team featuring riders with a lot of experience on one end and then the team’s youngest guys and Grand Tour debutantes on the other,” Guerrero. “We are not going with a team experienced in supporting a GC (general classification) leader but we will share the responsibilities between the riders and hopefully Domenico can get a top 10 on GC which he did last year. Of course, fighting for a stage win in the mountains can be another goal for him.”

Pozzovivo, 40, has taken part in 23 Grand Tours, including 16 Giros d’Italia, and has finished in the general classification top 10 on seven occasions.

Clarke will captain the team.
