Alessandro Petacchi is set to ride for Lampre-NGC in 2010 after it was confirmed that he would leave LPR at the end of the current season. Petacchi admitted earlier in the week that he was in negotiations with several ProTour teams in order to guarantee his participation in the most prestigious races.
