Lorenzo Bernucci will ride in 2009 for Team LPR Brakes, where he will join Danilo Di Luca and Alessandro Petacchi. Bernucci recently finished serving a one-year suspension on doping charges.
The 29 year-old tested positive for the appetite suppressant Sibutramine during the Deutschland Tour in August 2007. Team T-Mobile immediately terminated its contract with him. The Monaco Cycling Federation gave him a one-year suspension, which ended this summer.
Bernucci then signed with the Continental team Cinelli-OPD for the remainder of the 2008 season. He rode three races for the team in September, the Vuelta Mexico, the Giro della Romagna and the Coppa Placci.
