Team Saxo Bank has extended the contract with the experienced Aussie, Baden Cooke who came to the team this season. The 32-year-old will be riding for Saxo Bank-SunGard in 2011.

"I'm very happy to able to continue on this fantastic team. It's been a great season with a lot of new and exciting experiences and I'm looking forward to another season. I'm going to work really hard this coming winter to be able to hit the spring classics in peak shape," said Baden Cooke.

And team owner, Bjarne Riis has a clear strategy for the Australian rider:

"Baden (Cooke) has proven to be a solid rider for the team and a great overall support even though he has been struck by injuries this season. I'm sure he has more in store for us and he might just become a key figure during the spring classics in the coming season," commented Bjarne Riis.
