Katusha sign Di Luca 2011

Trust me, Diluca didn't steal some young talent his spot on a team.

Actually, he did.

At first the threw out young Artem Ovechkin (Russia's TT champion 2009, no less).

Then some other young promising russian rider (Kritsky) suddenly and very conveniently got ill (or he was paid off to say so), and withdrew from races.

Then they asked Ovechkin to come back.

Let's put it that way, Ovechkin was NOT pleased by how he was treated.
