ROME, Aug 26, 2008 (AFP) - Former Tour of Italy winner Danielo Di Luca will try to secure a place on Italy’s World Championship team by competing at the Giro del Veneto on Sunday, Italian news agency Ansa said Tuesday.

Di Luca won this event back in 2002 and is hoping further success will convince Italy selectioner Franco Ballerini to pick him for the worlds in Varese, in the north of Italy, next month.
