Sky's limit for Landa hope and glory
Nicolas Roche and Philip Deignan will be expected to keep their powder dry when they roll down the start ramp for today's first stage of the Giro d'Italia, a 9.8km time trial in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn.
Team Sky's Irish riders are part of the nine-man team working for Spanish team leader Mikel Landa, who will be hoping to improve on last year's third-place finish at the Giro.
