Contract news: Moerenhout, Lancaster

Dutch outlet Wielernieuws has published the latest information on some rider's contracts. According to which, Koos Moerenhout will extend his time with Swiss Phonak team for another two years, which will be taken over by a new main sponsor, American iShares, as of 2007.

Australian Brett Lancaster might ride for Team Milram next season. The 26 year-old is courted by the Italian team as well as Davitamon-Lotto, as Robbie McEwen would like his fellow countryman to replace Henk Vogels. Lancaster will therefore leave his current team Ceramica Panaria-Navigare, with whom he won the Giro d'Italia prologue last year. He missed out on the Giro this season due to injury.
