Aranaga axed for 2008

Andoni Aranaga, the 28-year-old who's failed to explore his potential since joining from Kaiku two years ago, will not be offered a contract for next year. The rider has "enormous problems with keeping his weight down", and "doesn't give us what we can expect from a pro in the Pro Tour" has Miguel Madariaga said recently. That's a bit sad I think, as Andoni has got what it takes to perform well in the highest category of international cycling. But I guess since he hasn't performed well enough, there's nothing to complain about...
