Update: Rasmussen signed by CDC-Cavalarie? Rasmussen denies! Advocate CDC-Cavalari says there is a contact.

Rasmussen signed by CDC-Cavalarie. CDC-Cavalerie is new in the Continental circuit. Last year it was an amateur squad. Other well known riders who signed are Riccio and Callegarini.

Well a GT seems pretty far away now

Edit: See Majope's link below

Edit II: This is going to be a strange case. CDC-Cavalari and their advocate have reacted on the statement of Rasmussen saying that there is a legal contract between Rasmussen and CDC-Cavalari for next year. The advocate stated:
"Maybe Rasmussen is thinking this was some sort of a pre-contract but there is a legal contract for next year" Also:
"It seems Rasmussen will retreat from this contract because he got a better offer somewhere else. I hope he admit his fault so we can work to a peaceful solution"

CDC-Cavalari is also not happy about Rasmussen's statemensts claiming the sponsors wouldn't be happy with the statement.

Wow...and he said that a GT was going to be most likely for next year.

Seems stupid that he is going to a continental team seeing as they won’t be doing many big races,

i won’t have to see him on my screen much next year…vino i can take for the amusement factor, ricco is bad enough, but rasmussen would have tipped me over the edge

Hope he can race some of the good races.

He’ll be in most Italian climby things so that’s a nice start. If he stays out of Mexico, or Italy or whatever the guy sure does deserve a second chance.

Yeah okay that explains it. He said he was talking to pro tour teams and not minor Italians.

I think he's off to the Footons of Fuji

Dammit Elk! I don't care if it's your mating season, you are disturbing my peaceful sleep! Just STFU!

Sounds like some Japanese sect...
