New career chapter for Cummings

Athens Olympic Silver medallist and recent winner of a World Cup Gold medal Steve Cummings confirmed his arrival in the world of international cycling when he signed for Landbouwkrediet-Colnago, one of Europe's top Continental teams last Friday in Brussels, soon after winning his first World Cup track Gold medal in Manchester last Saturday.

After the team's presentation, Cummings was very confident about his move into professional cycling and the racing programme ahead. "The team seems well organized and seem to have a lot of confidence in my abilities," he said. "I can't wait for my first race with the team, which will be the Tour of Langkawi. It seems possible that my programme will include Trofeo Luis Puig as well as the Tour of Murcia and the Tour of Valencia. These races in Spain are a very possible option and I just can't wait to get started."
