It's the beginning of a new chapter in Corkman Eddie Dunbar's career on Saturday as he starts the 106th edition of the Giro d'Italia as a protected rider in a Grand Tour for the first time.

The 26-year-old from Banteer is one of just two Irishmen in the 176-rider peloton, and after a less than perfect Spring campaign marred by injury, he's ready for just the second three-week race in his six years as a professional cyclist.
