Cunego to return for Criterium International

Cunego to return for Criterium International

ROME, March 27, 2008 (AFP) - Former Giro d’Italia winner Damiano Cunego will return to action at next weekend’s Criterium International, Italian news agency Ansa said on Thursday.

Cunego has been taking antibiotics to cure an infection he picked up during the Tour of Valenciana at the end of February.

The Lampre team leader is aiming to build up his form for the Liege-Bastogne-Liege one-day classic at the end of April before concentrating on his main goal for the season, July’s Tour de France.

The 26-year-old 2004 Giro winner has even opted to miss this year’s tour around his homeland to concentrate on the ‘Grand Boucle’ as the course more suits his abilities.
