Rujano back to Selle Italia?

Will we ever see him climbing like he did in the 2005 Giro? If there was ever a team specifically made to house good climbers, then Selle Italia is it. But he left them under a pretty dark cloud, I seem to remember, with Gianni Savio refusing to let him get in the team car when he abandoned in the Giro.
But he is still only 25. And with Simoni and Mazzanti also going there next season, maybe some of the pressure will be off him.

I hope he proves to be more than a one season wonder....
Mauricio Ardila is another rider who keeps failing to live up to expectations... :?
As for Ardilla, didn't he buy himself out of his contract to move to his current team, for a huge wage increase? Maybe also a case of not having the mental willpower now that he is on a healthy wage?
People must see that he's Colombian and therefore assume he's some kind of amazing mountain goat. But if you look at his palmares, his best results actually came in the Tour of Britain. Bizarre.
I think he is a great manager though.
