Possibly a reactionary measure in the wake of the news concerning suspended rider Roberto Heras, whose counter-analysis returned positive last Friday and most likely created havoc in the team's plans for 2006, Liberty Seguros-Würth team manager Manolo Saiz has called for a four-day get-together with his riders contracted for the 2006 season from December 13-16, the meeting place yet to be decided upon.
"All the riders will be there except for the Australians, Allan Davis and Aaron Kemps, who spend the winter in their own country," said Saiz. "I want to be together with all my riders to start preparing and planning as soon as possible our aims for the next season."
