The manager of the 'new' Astaná - Würth team, has voluntarily stepped aside from his position in the team, and will leave the organisation up to his technical staff. Saiz, who is one of those implicated in the 'Operacion Puerto' affair, made the decision "in order to safeguard the continuity of the team to the maximum, and for the good of cycling in general," according to a team statement.
"Astaná - Würth is fulfilling the sporting commitments that had undertaken this season, under the authority of the directors, and it is going to continue doing it in the future, in the medium and long term."
