Larsson leaves CSC for Caisse d'Epargne

Gustav Erik Larsson is leaving Team CSC-Saxo Bank for Caisse d'Epargne, announced the Spanish team of its signing. The Swede, who turns 28 years old later this month, finished second in the time trial in the Beijing Olympics.

This season, Larsson won the time trial in the Post Danmark Rundt and finished second overall in the Critérium International, behind team-mate Jens Voigt.

He rode for Fassa Bortolo from 2003 to 2005, before spending a year each at Française des Jeux, Unibet.com and CSC-Saxo Bank. Larsson was Swedish national time trial champion in 2006 and 2007. (SW)
