Amorison extends

Belgian Frederic Amorison extended his contract with the Landbouwkrediet-Tönissteiner team for one more year, the squad announced Friday. This season Amorison took two victories, the GP Puivelde-Belsele and Heusden GP, but his year was hampered by injury from crashes in the Driesdaagse De Panne-Koksijde and the Ronde van Zeeland which forced him to miss the Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris-Roubaix.

With Amorison, 12 riders are under contract so far for 2009: Bert De Waele, Kevin Neirynck, David Boucher, Ian Stannard, Dirk Bellemakers, Benjamin Gourgue, Sebastien Delfosse, Rob Peeters, Sven Nys, Frederic Amorison and the "newcomers" Denis Flahaut and Geert Verheyen.
