This year’s Vuelta a España saw an outcome the bookies didn’t anticipate several weeks beforehand; Alberto Contador (Tinkoff Saxo) went from being a rider originally not even listed in the betting odds to one who took the final red jersey of overall winner. (cyclingtips.com.au)

If you fell into a coma six years ago and came around yesterday it would seem as if nothing had changed. Manolo Saiz was appointed as a team preparador and hours later one of his old riders, whom the Italian federation but failed to ban, won Milano-Torino. Amid the wreckage left by Saiz, Alexandr Vinokourov created the Astana team and yesterday the UCI slipped out another PDF with Kazakh rider Maxim Iglinskiy named for a positive A-test for EPO. (inrng.com)

A controversial figure in the cycling world, due to his connection with Fuentes and Operación Puerto, Manolo Saiz plans to return to the sport as director of an under-23 team based in the Basque region of Spain. Photo: AFP PHOTO | DANI POZO.
He’s back. Manolo Saiz, the corpulent Spanish team manager who was at the center of the Operación Puerto blood doping scandal in 2006, is making a tentative return to the peloton. Saiz, who turns 55 next week, was introduced Wednesday as part of the team staff for the Basque amateur under-23 team Baqué-Campos. Saiz will be director of sport and help the team when it travels beyond the Pyrénées to France, Italy, and Belgium. (velonews.com)

On Wednesday, news broke that Astana rider Maxim Iglinskiy had tested positive for EPO. Iglinskiy, winner of Liège-Bastogne-Liège in 2012, provided a sample on August 1 that revealed an adverse analytical finding for the blood-boosting substance. A week earlier, he’d ridden into Paris as a member of Vincenzo Nibali’s Tour de France-winning team. The next day, he finished 26th at Clasica San Sebastian. (velonation.com)

Damiano Cunego has signed with the Nippo-Vini Fantini team for the next two seasons, bringing the curtain down on his lengthy spell at Lampre. Although the 2004 Giro d’Italia winner had struggled to attract interest from WorldTour teams, his arrival marks something of a coup for Nippo-Vini Fantini, which operated as a Continental team this year but will make the step up to Pro Continental level in 2015.
