Kroon to CSC

Frustrated Rabobanker Karsten Kroon has signed a contract with Team CSC for two years. Kroon has ridden for Rabobank for nine years, but said that he wanted a team where he has more freedom. "I've never said that I want to be leader," he said. "I only want to get chances. And Bjarne Riis has promised me that freedom."

Kroon's talents will most likely be used in the spring classics, where CSC is always looking to perform.
