SYDNEY (AP) Tour de France stage-winner Pieter Weening has extended his contract with Australian pro cycling team Orica-GreenEdge until 2015.
The 31-year-old Dutchman joined Orica-GreenEdge in its inaugural year in 2012 after 12 years with Rabobank, where he won a stage of the Tour de France in 2005 and a stage of the Giro d'Italia in 2011 before claiming the Tour de Pologne earlier this month.
Weening said he enjoyed the flexibility at Orica-GreenEdge. "Doing my own thing helps me feel valued in this team."
