Robbie McEwen
Filippo Pozzato
Gert Steegmans
Vladimir Karpets
Alexandre Botcharov
Stijn Vandenbergh
They've also listed a few other domestiques. Presumably they'll also subsume the likes of Ignatief, Petrov and Kiryirnka form Tinkoff too. Hopefully the Giro will see them, Astana and CSC all facing off!

this sounds like a strong team but you have to wonder if some of these riders are a bit off color at present...a change might be a good move for them...
steegmans will be the best signing...like his attitude

I think it's a good mix, it will be nice to see Steegmans against Boonan in the spring classics...what's good for the goose is good for the gander!!

That explains the withdrawal of the CSC yellow jersey from sale then, although it does seem a little churlish - he won it when still riding for CSC.
