BOLOGNA, Italy (Reuters) - Dave Brailsford's Team INEOS, well known for the ruthless approach that in their former incarnation helped them win eight grand tour titles since 2012, start the Giro d'Italia looking to have fun for a change with two ambitious youngsters at the helm.

With designated leader Egan Bernal out with a broken collarbone, Tao Geoghegan Hart, 24, and Pavel Sivakov, 21, will lead the charge when the three-week stage race starts in Bologna on Saturday.
