Armand De Las Cuevas for MX Onda?

There was a strong hint in L'Equipe a week or so ago that Armand De Las Cuevas has at last found a team. It was said that he was on the point of signing up for Spanish team Mx Onda. Cycling Weekly picked up exactly the same story this week and hardened it to a statement that De Las Cuevas had indeed signed the contract.

Judging from De Las Cuevas rumours in the past I'm happy to wait for a more reliable confirmation. Does anyone have one? (If it's true it's a pity DLC didn't make the decision before January 15, my guess is that his points would have taken MX Onda, now at 23 in the UCI classification, into the Division 1 of 22 teams.)
