An Alberto Contador fan page has posted a sneak peek at the Spaniard's new Trek Emonda via Twitter today. Contador gave the world another glimpse of the bike in his indoor training video earlier this month.
Trek-Segafredo is one of the last WorldTour teams to unveil its new jersey design, waiting until January 13 to roll out the new look. But judging from the team's photo of its socks, it is safe to bet the jersey will be black and red.
Nicola Ruffoni will head up the Bardiani-CSF squad for the Vuelta Ciclista a la Provincia de San Juan in Argentina later this month, according to Ciclismo Internacional.
The 26-year-old Ruffoni and his team are currently in Calpe, Spain for a training camp. Luca Wackermann, Edoardo Zardini, Lorenzo Rota, Mirco Maestri and Nicolò Pacinotti will round out the team.
Bardiani-CSF will then contest the Dubai Tour and GP Costa degli Etruschi as they seek to earn a wildcard invitation to the Giro d'Italia.
