The first meeting of green and blue team will take place, from 27th November to December 4th at Passo San Pellegrino in Val di Fassa, near Trento, where Liquigas-Doimo had already trained in preparation for the most important events of 2009, such as the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France.

All the top talents of the team have returned to ride for Roberto Amadio including: Ivan Basso, Roman Kreuziger, Daniele Bennati, Vincenzo Nibali, Franco Pellizotti, and Olivier Zaugg with talented young riders like Frederik Willems, Jacopo Guarnieri and Mauro Finetto who showed their promise in 2009.

Te talent on the team is a good balance also with G.C. threats for the GT's and stage races, Sprinters, and very talented climbers essential to support their Grand Tour efforts. I think we can expect the team to have a raised profile in the results in 2010 garnering more wins than last season.

The team management will meet as well at the end of the month. The management team is composed of team manager Roberto Amadio, directeur sportif Stefano Zanatta, Dario Mariuzzo, Mario Scirea, Paolo Slongo and, for new season, Alberto Volpi and Biagio Conte, all 28 riders will be present for the first meeting.
