Squatfather Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Fra cyclingnews.comGodefroot to manage Astana Former T-Mobile manager Walter Godefroot is set to return to cycling by managing Alexandre Vinokourov's Astana team, according to yet to be published information from Belgian newspaper Gazet van Antwerpen. Following the chaos that led to the team not taking part in the Tour de France, and the subsequent transition to an all-Kazakhstani sponsorship, top rider Vinokourov saw that there was a need for an experienced manager. He turned to Godefroot, who retired from T-Mobile last year and has always had a good relationship with Vino. Godefroot will take care of the managerial issues, including the renewal of the team's ProTour licence. Astan should take part in the HEW Cyclassics race in Hamburg, Germany, on July 30.

Scorpio Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Selvom Goodefroot og Vino kender hinanden fra Telekom-tiden må det vist alligevel siges at være lidt af en overraskelse at gamle Walter vender tilbage.. Men Vino er åbenbart til den bryske sportsdirektørstil - ikke noget med blød CSC-værdisnak snak her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
