Gorka Izagirre to Euskaltel from Contentpolis Ampo. It appears that Beñat Intxausti will not be joining EE after all, preferring to stay with Fuji-Servetto.

Paolo Tiralongo (Lampre-NGC) has signed for Astana on a two year contract according to biciciclismo.com.
Another decent signing and from that Astanafans list, so.........

Giuseppe Martinelli (not new) and Guido Bontempi to be Directors on the Astana team for 2010.

Gorazd Stangelj (Liquigas) also confirmed for Astana and Enrico Gasparotto (Lampre) set to sign.

Class acts, both. Where were Sky?
Definitely on the up!

According to wielerflits.com who are quoting gazeta.kz this will be Astanas 2010 line up. Very impressive I think, also would appear as though they have kept Morabito?

Starting to look like a tasty squad. GP Caruso would be a huge bonus.
With all these Italians signing, I could see Gibo making the move back to the PT, too. Smile

That Astana squad is plenty good enough to give Bertie all the support he needs.

Perhaps Kash is still feeling anemic, seeing as he apparently donated several gallons worth of blood for Vino's leisure....

The squad is more than good enough for Contador to win, with ease.

According to Spanish press Cobo to Astana and Navarro to Team Sky.

Yes, I know where Cobo is now. I just haven't seen anything about where he might be going.

Seen nothing to confirm Cobo. Gasparotto has gone quite.
For the latest Astana signing "rumour".
