    According to wielerflits.com who are quoting gazeta.kz this will be Astanas 2010 line up. Very impressive I think, also would appear as though they have kept Morabito?

    Giuseppe Martinelli (not new) and Guido Bontempi to be Directors on the Astana team for 2010.

    Gorazd Stangelj (Liquigas) also confirmed for Astana and Enrico Gasparotto (Lampre) set to sign.

    Class acts, both. Where were Sky?
    Definitely on the up!

    That list can't be accurate?
    I thought that the Swiss guys Schar and Moribito had signed for BMC. Also there is a Kazakh missing. Valentin Iglinskiy?

    Poor Kash must be feeling like an outcast nomad. If The Shack had any sense of mischief (and irony), they would sign him up for three years, to prevent Vino getting him in to replace Bertie next year :D
