Aaron Olson is another American [from Eugene, OR] who is riding his
first grand tour, and the Saunier Duval Pro Tour rookie was genuinely
excited to be starting the Giro in Liege. "It's definitely great to be
here," he said. "It's a big organisation; being at the Giro is amazing -
it's a dream come true!"
Riding on the team of pre-race favourite Gilberto Simoni puts Olson in
the special position of riding for one the Giro's strongest riders, and
he said that, "Everyone is very motivated. We checked out the team time
trial course the other day and it looks good. Gilberto's looking fit and
we're sure he'll do well."
