As we've got all these rather serious threads about doping and such like I thought we needed some good news.
Cavendish can count on the support of lead-out man Greg Henderson in the sprint finales. He will also team up again with his Great Britain team mate Ian Stannard, who will race as a team stagiare in Denmark.

Stannard, a sprinter, was part of the T-Mobile Development Programme with Cavendish in 2005 and 2006. The 20-year-old will now get this chance to make the step up to the professional grade. "It's a big test for Ian, and I am looking forward to seeing how he fares against this competition," says Aldag.

Remember him from riding for their Development squad in previous years, and riding the ToB. Good luck to him, and hopefully we can see another Brit on a ProTour team in 2008!

    Lets hope he does well enough to earn a contract for next season, and that T-Mobile decide to continue with their sponsorship, so that he can ride for them.
