Word from Tuttosport is that Riccardo Ricco signed a contract yesterday with Ceramica Flaminia, to begin March 10, 2010. His first race back will be Milan-Sanremo, should the team get an invite.
I've been unable to find the story yet in Tuttosport's online edition, but it's being picked up all over--see Eurosport.fr, Sportweek.nl among others.

Why do you think they called CERAmica Flamina?

Send in the mongoose.....
Bah....Cavendish?!
I for one...
liked to watch Ricco— hopefully he can come back clean and still be as explosive. He was fun to watch in the same way that a heel is in wrestling (not that I watch Pro-wrestling these days, but you know what I mean.)
The reason why Ricco was so "colorful" and brash
Is because he was on drugs….it’s pretty easy to show up to a race and talk trash about the competition when you have an unfair medical advantage. Now, assuming he’s not stupid enough to use again, I predict we’ll see a much more reserved and cautious character.
Certificate?
So does Ricco get to keep his high hematocrit certificate?

If so he might still be a danger on the climbs—-assuming that he can, Millar-like, keep his weight down during his time off.
Gazzetta has it now, too
Quite the come-down given how he was running his mouth a month or so ago about major teams knocking on his door. Heh, he couldn’t even get Diquigiovanni to sign him. He also claimed that Mercatone Uno was going to build a team for him. D’oh.
Riccò and Simeoni?! Bahahahahahaha.
Excellent silliness for a Friday.
I simply cannot wait for the pics
of Ricco and Simeoni standing together with forced grins on their faces….
Adrenalina Italiana!
And his official site still is at cobraricco.it...
So Cavendish can register wormricco.it.
Mon coeur appartient à les forçats de la route.
Good news
Riccò to return with “humility”
