Thomas Damuseau steps back to CT to ride for Roubaix-Lille. Quite a shame I think, he wasn't doing too bad for Giant and always performed quite well I think.

More news for everyone.
1. Davide Cimolai extends with Lampre for 2 years.
2. Novo Nordisk signs 4 riders, James Glasspool (AUS), Corentin Cherhal (FRA), Simon Strobel, MD (GER) and Gerd de Keijzer (NED). 18 riders for next season.
3. Martijn Maaskant and Oskar Svendsen retire. Svendsen got 5th last year in Avenir, broke VO2 max records and Junior TT World Champ. Lost motivation.

Oskar Svendsen has never been especially motivated. Gotten a long way on talent, but never done the training one have to do to get to the top. He won everything in Norway without doing a single effort until the senior class, and when things starts to turn against you, when you spend a full in-season month partying (like he did in may 2013) and only train 10-15 hours a week (less than half of most pros) you don't stand a chance in the pro peloton.
I think I mentioned the retirement some pages back, but it has not been official until now. Still, it does not come as a big surprise, as he since L'Avenir this year have had 3 training rides in total. |

I also thought he was doing okay, pity to see him drop back to CT but should get his chance to win a few races at Roubaix-Lille.

Maaskant surprised everyone when he finished 4th in his first Paris Roubaix in 2008. He showed that it was not a fluke when he finished 4th in Flanders the year after that. He looked like one of the biggest prospects of cobbled races. Unfortunately he never got back to his old level after a hard crash in 2011. |

Yeah, but that was literally what was happening. I think he's in Dubai now and going skydiving today from his Twitter. |
