Dutch rider Piet Rooijakkers signed a contract extension through the end of 2008. The 26 year-old from Gerwen has been in fine form during his second year on the squad. He rode well at the Tour of Qatar, the Dunkirk Four-day, and the Amstel Gold Race, where he was awarded the Herman Krott Trophy as most aggressive rider.
