Estonian cycling living legend Jaan Kirsipuu, a former yellow jersey of the Tour de France for five days in 1999, resumed racing after becoming a directeur sportif for Latvian team Rietumu Bank last year. For the second part of the 2009 season, he will be heading to Asia to compete with the Malaysian continental team LeTua. He'll make the trip with another famous recruit Colombian Walter Pedraza who rode for Diquigiovanni and Tinkoff in the past few years.
