Gesink to ride the Tour and Vuelta in 2011

Robert Gesink (Rabobank) has decided to ride both the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana in 2011. “Maybe not both for the general classification, but we'll see how it it goes,” he told De Telegraaf. Gesink wil be Rabobank's team leader for the grand tours after deciding to let Denis Menchov move on to the new Geox team.
