Sastre quits CSC for Cervelo
Eurosport - Sat, 06 Sep 20:16:00 2008
Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre has left the CSC team to join the Cervelo TestTeam project.
"Everything in life has a beginning and an end, and for my future I want to find a new motivation to enjoy cycling," Sastre said.
Cervelo is the largest time-trial bike manufacturer in the world. The team was founded last month as a new professional cycling outfit that will also concentrate on testing new equipment.
It is still looking for a major sponsor, which could change its final name.
"I decided for the Cervelo team because it is a new project that really fits with my way of life," Sastre said.
"At the same time, we can work at further improving the equipment technology. This project will open the doors to new dreams for the rest of my sporting career."

King Carlos Sastre:)
Would you buy a bike off this man? Darn tootin.
great move carlos. and what a bike to keep on riding. i love my cervelo. if they can make a team as good as thier frames your on a winner already.your the coolest dude in the bunch.
Can't imagine Sastre not at the tour, which may have been a major factor in Cervelo signing him.
CSC will now have to work on Andy Schlecks time trialling to ensure that he can contend at the tour as Frank's time trial was almost Rasmussenesque this year.
Carlos is much better then Sclek brothers
does this mean he wont be in the tour next year?
Anyway, Sastre is quite old. And it would have been quite difficult for CSC to manage two great bikers (andy scleck and sastre)
