Contrini renews with LPR

Daniele Contrini has become the next rider to renew his contract with Team LPR. The 31 year old with two victories this season described himself as very happy and relaxed with his current team. "The renewal of the contract was almost a natural conclusion," he said. "I'm convinced that my results are born out of the great tranquility that exists in this squad."

Contrini added that he has achieved his main goals as a professional cyclist, and is thinking of retirement. "It would make me happy to remain in the world of cycling," he said. "Maybe with a team of my own. Here, I can see myself in the clothes of a team manager. Oscar Piscina [LPR team manager] is getting worried!" he joked.
