Sprinter Ivan Dominguez has confirmed that he will ride for Fuji-Servetto next season. The new contract offers the 32 year odl Dominguez an opportunity to test his sprinting talent at the pro tour level for the first time. The "Cuban Missile" boasts a formidable list of successes on the North American circuit. Will he find equal success in Europe?

I'm happy for him

it’s about time he can give Europe a try. I’m very interested to see how he does on the Pro-Tour circuit, I hope he does well.

Dominguez was VERY entertaining...

…at Tour of Missouri in the inaugural year, 2007 B.C. (Before Cavendish, but never mind). Great aggressive riding and great moxie with the press.

Bravo and good luck to him. May he get oodles of camera time.

Scanning through the "Big Photographs" from today's stage 7 of the Giro on Steephill  (worth a look after every stage) and I noticed, on this image - whose caption describes "Niemec about to launch Lampre-ISD teammate Michele Scarponi on the steepest (10%) part of the climb" - that both Lampre cyclists are in the big chain ring.

Let me repeat that.  10% slope. Business end of stage 7 of the Giro.  Big Chain Ring!
