Vincenzo Nibali
Tour de France champion Vincenzo Nibali will stay with team Astana for 2015 despite five recent doping cases that have cast a shadow over the Kazakhstan team.
"I don't think I'd leave," Nibali said in an interview with Cycling Weekly. "I have my technical staff here, the people I wanted in the team. There's a good group, all around me and united."
