Giro d'Italia organisers RCS Sport have announced the wildcard invites to this year's edition of the race. Automatic invitees Israel-Premier Tech are set to be joined on the start line by Italian ProTeams VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè and Polti-Kometa plus Swiss squad Tudor Pro Cycling, who make their Grand Tour debut.
The set of invites was extended to three teams after Lotto-Dstny opted against taking up their automatic spot as one of the two top-ranked ProTeams of last season, as was the case last May.
