According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Ukrainian rider Serguei Gonchar has extended his contract with German T-Mobile team for another year. The squad neither denied nor confirmed this.
Gonchar, who has won two stages in the Tour de France this year, as well as taking the overall lead for a few days, might thus be an important helper for a yet-to-sign major stage race contender, together with Australian Michael Rogers and German Patrik Sinkewitz. After losing its Grand Tour performers Jan Ullrich and Andreas Klöden, the team is re-structuring completely and will officially announce the full changes on September 27.
