Unibet boost squad

Dutchman Niels Scheuneman (pictured), the runner-up in the time-trial at the 2003 Under-23 World Championship, joins from Rabobank.

The 22-year-old spent two seasons with the Dutch squad after a campaign at Relax.

Troels Vinther and Michal Golas, the under-23 road race champions of Denmark and Poland respectively, have also been inked to deals.

The Swedish team have been heavily recruiting in the off-season with established riders like Victor Hugo Pena, Jimmy Casper, Arnaud Coyot and Gustav Larsson joining former Tour de France points winner Baden Cooke.

Unibet will receive the ProTour licence formerly held by Phonak, which has been disbanded, in 2007.
