Cannondale has confirmed its 2014 roster, headlined by two-time Tour de France green jersey Peter Sagan, up-and-comers Moreno Moser and Elia Viviani, and American Ted King.
The U.S.-owned, Italian-licensed squad will field 27 riders, with 20 returning from 2013. Veterans Oscar Gatto and Marco Marcato will captain the team, and former Giro d’Italia winner Ivan Basso is back in green.
