Konyshev set for another year

Dimitri Konyshev, 39, will be adding one more year to his career as a professional cyclist. His contract with Italian team LPR was prolonged for another season, the team announced yesterday. Konyshev will therefore be the oldest rider in the peloton next year, if Vjatcheslav Ekimov (Discovery Channel), born just two weeks before his fellow Russian Konyshev, chooses to retire alongside his team captain Lance Armstrong.
