Italian Francesco Gavazzi renewed his contract with Giuseppe Saronni's team Lampre-NGC for the next two seasons. The team made the announcement today, hours before he finished third in the Giro della Romagna.
"It's a great place to improve as a cyclist," said Gavazzi. "I have always felt trust from the team and I have never lacked encouragement."
Gavazzi joined the Lampre team full time in 2007. This year he blossomed with several third place finishes: País Vasco stage five, Giro d'Italia stage three and 14, Tour de Suisse stage six, Tour de Pologne stage one and Eneco Tour stage five.
