Cadel Evans to Lotto?
Not surprisingly it looks like he'll be leaving T-Mobile at the end of the year and maybe going to the new Omega Pharma-Lotto team. From cyclingnews.com: http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2004...es/aussie_wrap Of course, the other major disappointment was the omission of Cadel Evans by Team T-Mobile. Add to that the double whammy of being left out of the Olympic team. I spoke to Cadel last night and he was in surprisingly high spirits. "Well there is some good news. I have just been told I am riding the Vuelta and I am really looking forward to that. What about your omission from the Tour and the Olympics? "Look, they were both negative shocks. But hey, you have to learn to deal with setbacks and hopefully learn from them." Since Cadel did not want to go over old news, I asked about his rumored signing with the new Lotto team alongside Robbie McEwen, Nick Gates and Henk Vogels. "Yes, I am in negotiations with them and it will be finalized one way or the other in a couple of days. And yes, it would be a very good option and it seems like it will have a great spirit." Cadel was keen to get out on the bike and said to ring him in a couple of days and he would confirm his team for next year. -- patch70 |

Omega Lotto will only keep 7 or 8 riders from Lotto-Domo, ie. McEwen, Van
Petegem and their personal little helpers. Besides abpsrbing the Bodysol Belgian branch, it's logical given the ProTour scheme that riders who can do something in serious stage races are dearly wanted. That's why Simoni and Mayo have been mentioned too. |

He was wasted there, and should probably be on a team where he gets to be in the grand tours. Salvoldelli will probably leave too. |
