Denis Menchov has announced that he will be riding for Team Geox (currently Footon-Servetto) next 2 years, shocking the many who believed that he was headed to team Katusha or Astana. Menchov, who is a prime 32 years old, believes that Geox is really setting up to do great things next season and took the bait they offered him. So without further ado, lets take a look at what it means...For Menchov: Well, you could have possibly been in a better situation with the other teams, but what ever floats your boat..., i guess. The truth is that Denis Menchov is an incredibly talented rider and can find success on any team he is on. I guess he decided that having his own team would be too much pressure on him (remember he shared Rabobank with Gesink).
For Geox: Wow, they are really starting to look good and say they are not done yet. With possibly Cunego, Horner, or others on the horizon, Geox is loading up. The only thing that worries me about this move is that it can lead to potential "in-fighting" between Sastre and Menchov for the team leader position (like Lance and Bertie in 09).
For Rabobank: Thanks for the good rides, Denis, and good luck to ya. Rabobank has their future in Gesink and knew that there was no chance they held on to Menchov. That's all there is to that.
