Contract news

Elio Aggiano (Team LPR) has renewed his contract with his current team for a further two years, according to a statement from the team. Aggiano's best result this year came at the Settimana Ciclista Internazionale Coppi-Bartali in March, where he won the fifth and final stage.

"18 victories in a little over seven months demonstrates that we are one of the three best teams in Italy," said Aggiano. "Fassa Bortolo and Panaria have taken a few more wins, but disputing almost triple the number of races. I have been a professional for many years, and hope to teach the new generation [of cyclists]."
