Italian veteran Dario Cioni will ride for Team Sky in 2010, according to La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
2010 will mark Cioni's tenth season in the professional peloton. He raced as a mountain biker in his late teens before signing with Mapei-Quick Step in 2000. Two years with Fassa Bortolo (2003 and 2004) were followed by similar stints at Liquigas and Silence-Lotto.
In 2004, he finished fourth overall at the Giro d'Italia and claimed the title of Italian national time trial champion. He has also been a stage winner a the Ruta del Sol (2007).
