Stage Profile
Gilberto Simoni (34) has signed a contract to race for another year with the squadra gialla, Saunier Duval-Prodir. Yesterday in Bergamo, il Trentino confirmed with the team his positive year, after leaving Lampre in 2005, by agreeing to ride through 2007 in their yellow colors.
"This gives me even more confidence for the Tour de France. I want to go and do something good for the squadra," said Simoni, winner of the 2001 and 2003 Giro d'Italia.
Today Gibo, who is still celebrating the birth of his second child, Enrico, will complete his last day of training in Italy. He will board a flight from Verona for Strasbourg and the Tour de France, where he hopes to use the form that brought him third in the 2006 Giro to win stages and help teammate David Millar.
Auguri Simoni!
