It's official: SASTRE SIGNS WITH CERVELO! :)
Comunication from Carlos Sastre

04/09/2008
In the past few days, there were many rumors about my future, but none
of the information on TV and in the magazines was correct. Now the time
has come to talk about my future, and I do this with the utmost respect
for my current team, Team CSC-Saxobank. For me personally, these have
been seven unforgettable years, and during these years I shared
happiness with all the people who were in the team.
But, everything in life has a beginning and an end, and for my future I
want to find a new motivation to enjoy cycling. This is one of the most
important reasons why I decided to join the “Cervélo TestTeam” project.
At this important moment in my sporting life, I want to explain to you
my motivation to make this decision. It must be made clear that
throughout my career, the financial aspect was always secondary. I
decided for the Cervélo team because it is a new project that really
fits with my way of life. It offers to cycling the opportunity to open
new frontiers, and work together with our sponsors and their customers
in a really effective way. At the same time, we can work at further
improving the equipment technology.
This project will open the doors to new dreams for the rest of my sporting career, where I still have important goals.
I would like to use this moment to express my gratitude for the
interest of the other teams and for them respecting my decision to join
Cervélo.
Finally, I would like to thank Bjarne Riis and all the people involved
in this family, at CSC, at SaxoBank and at all other team sponsors for
their confidence and friendship during all the years we worked
together.
With the warmest regards,
Carlos Sastre Candil
