nickc Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 New report - not sure how accurate, translated from Italian so the grammer is a little off: Cannondale becomes completely american. The news, for the moment is not official, but sources close to the American colossus confirm us that the American company has purchased the management company Brixia Sport of Paul Zani (in the photo, ndr). The management company will remain in Italy, but also to honor contracts that have already been signed, for the season 2014. Cannondale has also entered into an agreement with Oleg Tinkov that joins as a sponsor in the coming weeks the leaders of the team will decide whether Tinkoff will be the first or the second sponsor of the training that, with the arrival of the Russian magnate, is therefore important new resources in order to revive and strengthen. Closes so the parentheses - lasted just over a year - Paul Zani who ferried the company from Liquigas to Cannondale.

nickc Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Newly crowned U23 WORLD CHAMP all set to join the team next year. Another Slovakian like Sagan and his lil bro Matej Mohoric He will feel at home in the team, thats for sure. Strange, if Tinkoff comes on board as a sponser for an American team there is a plenty of ex Soviet Union participation in the team with all the Slovakian riders as well. So much for the Cold War.
