Enrico Battaglin will sign with the Dutch LottoNL-Jumbo according to De Telegraaf. This team would like to have more international riders. George Bennett (New Zealand) and Robert Wagner (Germany) are currently the only non-Dutch or Belgian riders on the team.

After signing a big deal with the Bianchi, the Italian bicycle compagny, LottoNL-Jumbo is interested in the team signing Battaglin (Bardiani CSF) for commercial reasons. American Lawson Craddock (Giant Alpecin) will surely join this team too in order to help sell Bianchi's in one of the world's largest cycling market.
