That must be it, last year this one was still listed:

Seems Radioshack are as open as Katusha with regards to their medical staff. They just dissapeared last year.

When you take a good look there were:
* Andreas Gosele/formerly Cervelo/still there:
http://www.radioshackleopardtrek.com/gallery

* Jens Hinder

And there was/is Nino Daniele, former Lotto/USPS/Discovery doctor.

Radioshack should really update their site, even Bruyneel is still listed, watch the gallery 'staff' dropdown menu :D

You didn't have to put cancellaras pic onto luigis bike, he looks like him anyway. I wonder did Fuentes give him that nickname in the same way as he gave scarponi the name zapatero because he looked like him?

However if the name was 'classicomano paddy' you'd assume it was someone Irish, in the same way because its 'luigi' it could be Italian, or maybe flecha's blood bags from whenhe was at fassa?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall speculation that the "Luigi" is believed to be a reference to the fact that Cancellara was a Cecchini client. Then again so was Dekker, but I have at least seen that angle presented before.

Classicomano Luigi was Thomas Dekker, so it's quite pointless to speculate about the name.

Maybe Cancellara used a different codename, if you're adament to tie him to the Puerto case, try to tie him to another name that's unidentified.

Is there a definite source for that?

Two journalists from two different newspapers say they have sources that absolutely confirm Dekker is Classicomano Luigi (possibly Dekker himself), for the Cancellara connection there is no more than a 7 year old anecdote that through inference can be connected to Cancellara.

Volkskrant are saying it's Flecha now, they just don't say why they came to that conclsusion.

Mark Misérus: Omdat Cancellara Luigi werd genoemd, wil dat niet zeggen dat hij ClasLuigi was. Dat was Dekker. Klip en klaar.

Article by Zonneveld was posted here a couple of months ago.

With reference to the Hamilton/Rock Racing story from California 2008 (http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/exclusive-interview-tyler-hamilton) , perhaps we should note that Thomas Dekker did not ride that race, and Cancellara did (http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/Archives/2008-archive/teams.html). Perhaps I'm giving Hamilton too much credit but based on what we've seen and read from him, I don't think he's the kind of guy to get his years mixed up. The devil is in the detail and if the "F*ck you Luigi" incident did indeed take place at California 2008, it seems unlikely to me that Dekker is Luigi, and much more likely that the heckling was directed at Cancellara.

It's a fact that the Rock Racing guys thought Cancellara was Luigi. Look up Michael Creed's tweets, for example.

Personally I'm pretty sure when something is known within the peloton they're usually right about it.

See I don't believe Cancellara is doping. I think he, Gilbert and Boonen have all gone down to the crossroads and sold their soul to the devil for Classics success. But the Devil is capricious, and gives them one season of success before punishing them the next: Cancellara's collarbone, Boonen's rib, Gilbert's face. This year's is Cancellara's, the next? Depends on old Nic

Unless Thomas has already sneaked in there, offered up his eternal soul and now the Devil is trying to nobble Cancellara
