    Riis says Contador maybe has best form since joining the team, and that his TT performance in Pais Vasco was maybe the best part of 2014 until now. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/riis-this-is-the-best-contador-since-he-joined-the-team

    Team Saxo Bank with a new bank co-sponsor?

    Yeah, of course the article from BT was just full of ****. Staghøj doesn't really have many clues about cycling

    If this is the truth, he didn't lie “Before the Tour, I set my best-ever times in training at Navacerrada and Morquera. I’d never gone as well on my climbs before and for that reason I went to France with a lot of confidence,” Contador told Gazzetta dello Sport. “I was certain that I would...

    You think Old Yellow got rabies instead of snail fever now? Hopefully, Alberto will walk the walk and not just talk the talk in the 3rd week. Vamos Alberto

    Great to see Kreuziger in such a great shape. He was an important part when Nibali won the Vuelta. He knows how to be a super domestique

    Maybe Alberto wasn't present at the front, because he told Roche to be there: From Nicolas Roche diary: I was sitting in seventh or eight position, alongside my team leader Alberto Contador when, sensing the danger, he turned to me and told me to close the gap. I did maybe a 40-second sprint...

    velo-club.net seems sure about this being Saxo-Tinkoffs team for the tour. http://www.velo-club.net/article?sid=72167 I'm not sure though. In the past, Bjarne has always waited until after Tour de Suisse before picking his nine riders for the tour

    Froome's TdF chances: better or worse without Wiggins?

    Slightly worse, I guess. Even though they won a little time against Saxo-Tinkoff in the Tirreno-Adriatico TTT without Wiggins, I don't think they will be able to do the same thing in the Tour TTT
