Lund gets CSC-Saxo Bank extension

Team CSC-Saxo Bank has extended its contract with 23-year old Anders Lund. The Danish rider began his career as a professional rider with the team in 2006 and has now had his contract extended for another year.

"Anders still has great potential and we'd like to keep him around and help him evolve," said Bjarne Riis. "He's still got his first pro victory ahead of him, but I know he's a major talent, who can go far - so it's only a matter of time. He managed to get through a tough Giro d'Italia fine this year and I think it has helped toughen him up and also provided him with important experience and these two things in combination might help him on his way to achieving the results his talent warrants."
