Finally Denis Menchov has inked a deal with Russian team Katusha. This signing was a given since the death of Team GEOX-TMC.
He is a very underrated cyclist, and despite being up there in age I think that he might still have something left to say at a Grand Tour like the Vuelta or the Giro.
He is definitely past his prime, but he was always a quiet contender and if it wasn't for a slip while he was attacking the field, in the 2008 Tour he could have challenged Sastre for the win.
He also finished third at the Tour in 2010 so that's definitely telling that he still has a little left in the tank.
I like that he's quiet and he is never mentioned as an elite rider but his results are outstanding. He might not be flashy or outspoken, but the guy can surely ride a bike!
