Monday, October 12, 2009 Rujano returns with ISD-Neri by Nick Mulder at 1:51 PM EST   comments Categories: Pro Cycling   Jose Rujano will be making his return to the European cycling scene after signing a contract with the Italian-Ukrainian Pro-continental team ISD-Neri. The Venezuelan climbing sensation garnered interest from several Pro-Tour teams including Caisse d'Epargne, Quick Step, Garmin and Astana after his overall wins in the Tours of Venezuela and Colombia, and his strong performance at the World Championships in Mendrisio, Switzerland. The 27 year-old eventually chose for ISD, the team of current Europe Tour leader Giovanni Visconti, with whom he hopes to improve on third place at the 2005 Giro d'Italia. Rujano won a total of 12 races this year with the South-American based Gobernacion del Zulia continental team.       comments Follow @Pro_Cycling Tweet Subscribe via RSS or daily email Contact the editor about this article Related Articles Vacansoleil-DCM leaves “complicated” Jose Rujano out of Giro d’Italia squad Pressure on Rujano to deliver as Savio rejects mononucleosis claim Rujano claims mononucleosis is reason for Giro withdrawal Savio: Rujano’s in better shape than last year Video: Savio says he’s content for his riders to wait until Genting Highlands Former winner Jose Rujano to lead Androni team in Tour de Langkawi Androni – Cipi team wins Italian title, Savio says it will secure invite to 2012 Giro d’Italia
