Joseba Beloki has extended his contract with Liberty Seguros for another year. 2005 marked Beloki's first season back with Manolo Saiz after leaving ONCE in 2004 for Brioches la Boulangère and Saunier Duval-Prodir. He took part in all three Grand Tours this year, but was a long way off his Tour de France podium form of 2000 and 2002, having never seemingly recovered from his terrible crash in the 2003 race.
David Etxebarria has also extended his contract with Liberty Seguros.
