Monfort, Brajkovic, Napolitano, Clarke allegedly with new teams
Brian Vandborg is returning ”home” to Team Saxo Bank in 2011. The Danish rider previously rode in 2005 and 2006 for the team which will be called Saxo Bank-Sungard next season.
He joined Discovery Channel for the 2007 season, before dropping down to Continental Team GLS – Pakke Shop for a year. Since 2009 he has been with the Italian ProTour team Liquigas.
Vandborg took his first pro win with a stage of the Tour of Georgia in 2005, but missed much of the rest of the season with mononucleosis. He won the Danish time trial title in 2006 and was fourth in the worlds time trial race in 2006.
”We know what Brian stands for. He is undoubtedly a great talent for any team and now he has gained even more experience in long stage races and he has become a stronger rider as well,” said Saxo Bank-Sungard team owner Bjarne Riis.
