Team LPR, the new team of Giro d'Italia champions Danilo Di Luca and Paolo Savoldelli, have signed Sergio Marinangeli for 2008 according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. The 27 year-old from Gualdo Tadino, Italy, rode for Aurum Hotels in 2007.
Marinangeli, professional since 2003, finished second in a stage one of the Giro d'Abruzzo last year, the same race where he was stopped due to an elevated hematocrit reading revealed in a pre-race anti-doping control. It was not the first time for LPR's new recruit, winner of the 2006 GP Beghelli, had returned a high hematocrit reading; in March 2005, the then Naturino rider was stopped from competing in the Coppi e Bartali.
