Cervelo TestTeam earlier today announced the signing of Inigio Cuesta and Xavier Florencio of Spain, Simon Gerrans of Australia, Martin Reimer of Germany, as well as Gabriel Rasch of Norway.
Inigio Cuesta is an established rider having ridden as a pro cyclist since 1994. 39-year-old Cuesta won a stage victory in the 2000 Dauphiné Libéré as well as a stage victory in the 2005 Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. Since 2006 he has ridden for Team CSC.
Simon Gerrans, a former swimmer, runner and motorcycle racer, only turned to cycling by chance (and in hindsight, good fortune) after injuring his knee when he was seventeen while competing for the Victorian motocross titles. A pro cyclist since 2003, the twenty-eight-year-old Australian won a stage victory at the 2008 Tour de France. He has also achieved a third place finish in a stage of the 2005 Tour de France. In 2008 Gerrans rode for the soon to be dissolved French Team Credit Agricole.
