"I still love cycling a lot and, at nearly 36 years-old, I have decided to prolong my career to the end of 2008," said Davide Rebellin to tuttobiciweb.com. The rider from Veneto started his career in 1992, with GB-MG, and has rode for such teams as Polti, Liquigas Pata and now Gerolsteiner, racking up victories in Classic San Sebastián, Amstel Gold, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
"In the winter I had some really good training," said Rebellin, who has aims for the 2007 Ardennes Classics. He will use Paris-Nice as preparation, and was delighted at hearing the agreement news between cycling's heads of state. "It pleases me that the UCI and Grand Tours are finding an agreement because I am ready to participate, starting Sunday; I will race the Paris-Nice, using it as preparations for Milano-Sanremo."
