Fernández on the move

Koldo Fernández's days at Euskaltel are numbered. The experienced sprinter will leave his team of the last seven years and head to American powerhouse Garmin-Cervelo ahead of the 2012 season if trustworthy Spanish website BiciCiclismo is to be believed. The Álavan, who's been terribly unlucky with crashes and illnesses the last couple of years, will call and end to his association with his home team to "embark on a new stage in his career". Allegedly all that's lacking is his signature - everything else is sorted out - and his move is likely to be finalized by the end of the week. Stay tuned for further news on this story.
