They stopped inviting his team.

So, why exactly are they invited again? Have there been any negotiations to ensure that they would send a team to the Giro with an intention to win rather than use it as training?

No I don't think so.

A personal opinion.... a guess... speculation... Money makes the world go round and Stapleton is tough business man.

So High Road got reconsidered for the Giro without a mis-directed petition to the UCI or anything? Wow. That's gotta irk some people.

High Road's plans were to send Rogers and Gerdemenn and if they had a chance to take overall victory, they would see out the Giro. If they didn't have a chance, they'd pull out in the third week. So High Road's intentions for the Giro are both. If they are in a position to win, they will want to win.

And no San-Remo and no Tireno Adriatico for the suspected dopers and dubious DS !
Clearly they are paying the broken agreement between teams of last year.

Darn... I was hoping Rogers and Gerdy would be fresh at the TdF.
