Figueras joins Lampre-Caffita

After riding for Second Division team Ceramiche Panaria-Margres in 2004, Italian rider Giuliano Figueras joins ProTeam Lampre-Caffita for this season. The winner of the Settimana Ciclistica Internazionale finally came to an agreement with team manager Claudio Corti after an initial deal at the end of October 2004 that turned sour. A one-year contract was signed in Milan, Italy, yesterday.
