More rumours

According to Spanish website DEIA.com, Mayo have contract offers from more teams than earlier thought. Team Barloworld, a Pro Continental team hoping for a place in the Pro Tour next year, are allegedly very keen to take Mayo on. Team manager Corti is hoping Mayo will be their captain for the next seasons if he fails to land a deal somewhere else, but he´s facing some hard competition. Team CSC, widely recognised as the best team in the world, are hoping to take Mayo on if Puerto-suspect Ivan Basso doesn´t get cleared. If Basso gets suspended for wrong-doing, Bjarne Riis will go all out to secure Iban´s services for the next season. With Basso out of the picture, Mayo could become one of their GT leaders along with fellow countryman Carlos Sastre. Another Pro Tour outfit, French team Cofidis, have also made an offer to Iban, though, according to the author, this is not an option for him. So it seems like Iban will have to choose from Euskaltel, Saunier Duval, CSC and Team Barloworld, though an offer from CSC seems a bit unlikely, as a decision on Basso´s future probably wont be made in the very near future. But, I tell you, this is just rumours, nothing official. But the author, Unai Larrea, seemed to know what he was talking about.
