Claudio Corti who was behind the Saeco success as well teams such as Chateau D’Ax with Gianni Bugno joined the struggling Barloworld team. With the signing, he may bring in co-sponsor Caffitta and possibly Cannondale bikes. Former Fassa assitant DS Alberto Volpi who was headed to Aqua e Sapone is instead joining Corti at Barloworld. Corti is moving quickly to ramp up the struggling team.
Where’s Igor?
Velochimp is venturing to guess that Barloworld may possibly re-sign Igor Astarloa since he is still without a team. The lack of news about Igor Astarloa’s team for next year and the signing of Corti, Volpi and possibly Cannondale bikes may mean that the Spanish one-day specialist may stay in the British/Italian/South African outfit.
