Cervélo Test Team signs Pujol
The Cervélo Test Team continues to add names to its lineup, this time bringing on 25-year-old Oscar Pujol to the new team for the 2009 season.
Pujol, a close friend and training partner of Tour de France champion and top Cervélo recruit Carlos Sastre, turned pro this year with the Burgos Monumental continental Spanish team.
Pujol is promising climber who racked up some impressive results in Spain’s highly competitive under-23 and amateur ranks, including second overall at the 2006 Vuelta a Cantabria and stages at the Tour de Navarra and Bizkaiko BISA and victory at Aitzondo Klasikoa.
The Canadian bike manufacturer is moving boldly ahead with its ambitious plans to introduce a top-level team for the 2009 season.
The team has already signed such blockbuster names as Carlos Sastre and Thor Hushovd.
Others include Daniel Lloyd, Jeremy Hunt, Roger Hammond and Dan Fleeman of Great Britain; Phillip Deignan of Ireland, Olympic track medalist Hayden Roulston, Andreas Klier of Germany and Serge Pauwels of Belgium, Marcel Wyss of Switzerland, Joaquin Novoa Méndez, Iñigo Cuesta and Xavier Florencio of Spain; and Ignas Konovalovas of Lithuania, Simon Gerrans and Brett Lancaster of Australia, Martin Reimer of Germany, Gabriel Rasch of Norway, Ted King of the United States and Dominique Rollin of Canada.
