February 16, 2008 (San Luis Obispo, California) — Reversing an earlier decision, RCS Sport has invited Team High Road to the 2008 Giro according to a recent press release. “After careful and diligent review, RCS Sport is glad to confirm its confidence in Team High Road and its promising riders, and invite the new USA-registered team to our races starting, in chronological order, with Monte Paschi Eroica on March 3rd, Tirreno Adriatico, Milano- San Remo, Giro d’Italia, Giro del Lazio, Giro del Piemonte e Giro di Lombardia,” said Angelo Zomegnan, the director general of RCS Sport in the release. Canada’s Michael Barry rides for Team High Road’s men’s team.
