Steve Cummings Discovery Channel

For the first time in years, four British riders will be in action at Milan-San Remo on Saturday after Steve Cummings (pictured) was selected for the Italian classic by the Discovery Channel team.

The 294-km race has been on the race programme of David Millar (Saunier Duval) and Roger Hammond (T-Mobile) since the start of the season. Hunt was given a place in the Unibet.com line-up after the team was given a late wild card invitation but Cummings late call-up boosts the British presence in the race to one of the highest ever.
