TeeeJaaaay!!! Tejay has an awful lot of potential so I think he will be the more successful rider overall, from a GC perspective; however from a PR perspective Taylor Phinney will be bigger.

Any chance of an English translation from anyone??

Cavendish hasn't lost anyone from his lead out (main lead out) this year as the two main ones are Eisel and Renshaw, with Grabsch and Martin key as well. The only two he has lost from the lead out train from this years TdF are Rogers (who is a big loss from this perspective) and Monfort...

Overrated = have a higher opinion of (someone or something) than is deserved. In what world does this apply to Nibali :confused: I would also doesn't apply to Mark Renshaw as he is appropriately hyped as a lead out man, if anything he is probably underrated as a sprinter ;) EBH in my...

Although Team Lux would have a lot of his mates in it I wonder whether the current lack of sponsor announcement would put him off and the lack of guarentee they would be Pro Tour BMC certainly have the cash, but would he fit into their current rostrum well? I think so, but he may also be...

I'd give the route a 7, love the two climbs up Etna, however I just think that the 7MTF plus the MTT is too much overkill; compared to only 32km of ITT which basically limits the amount of people who could win drastically, not something I think is a good thing. Also I think stage 12 is too early...

Jens got my vote, although Gilbert, Fab and Cavendish come close behind

How can Nibali not be an option? Oh well he gets my vote anyway

Yeah this is all really new http://www.cyclingnews.com/blogs/tejay-van-garderen I would say he is alluding more to Cav being a serious team player, but heyho

I saw an article today stating that Cavendish has said that the Olympics mean nothing to him; does anyone know where this came from and has this been taken out of context by the paper in question (the Metro for info) Knowing the course and the fact it is on home territory he has to be one of...

5ft9 according to wikipedia and weighs 69kg yup definitely porky :rolleyes:

Thanks I thought he would be, shame though if he keeps his form he would be useful in Team GB.

Ahhemmm did we see the same race; Cav actually brought back the third chase group himself, spending most of the time at the front of that group, then continued to bridge gaps himself, at which point riders would attack again. Yes normally Cav does very little work, up till the final 250m but...

What is the chance of the UCI changing their minds on this? Seems bonkers to me.

I hope he does; rainbow argyle on shorts, helmet, gloves, bike and sunglasses :eek: Can't wait :D
