Bigen Fernández renews with Cofidis

By Antonio J. Salmerón

The French Pro Tour team Cofidis has seemingly reversed the decision to do without Spaniard rider Bingen Fernandez for the 2007 season. Although it was reported during the past Lombardia Tour, team manager Eric Boyer recently told Fernández that the team would allow him to renew for 2007.

The Basque rider will be the lone Spanish racer on Cofidis in 2007 after the team opted to not review the contract of Luis Pérez, its best GC classified rider in the Vuelta. Pérez continues to search for a team for 2007.
