Lelangue unsure of future

Phonak team manager John Lelangue is unsure of his next job as his team is stopping at the end of the season. Lelangue was named as a team director for Unibet.com, which is hoping to get into the ProTour next year, but the Belgian has not yet signed anything. He does have an offer to go back to the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the organisers of the Tour de France.

Unibet.com have contracted Russians 21 year-old Alexander Khatuntsev and 20 year-old Sergey Kolesnikov, both of whom have had good seasons in the U23 ranks this year.
