According the Italian daily La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former K-Challenge skipper John Cutler (who was also Technical Director and design team coordinator) has now signed with Mascalzone Latino.

A good news for the Italian team if it's true. Another bad signal from the French challenger which has announced in June the signing of the New-Zealander.
