    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: It was from a former employee at tinkoff who said that AC was not happy with being left isolated on the tour and the co captain roles. Then Kreuzinger tweeted about how great Froome is the other day. He also said the way the team is run is terrible.

    From what I can see on Twitter there's a lot of in fighting within the team so with all the crashes too I'm sure Bertie has low morale. Looks like Trek have a good few signings for next year if he goes there.

    2016 Tour of Qatar 8-12/02 2.HC

    If that had been Froome in the leader's jersey he would have kicked off about being attacked after having a mechanical :rolleyes:

    The King [Cav] is dead. Long live the King [Kittel].

    I'm intersted to see how Kittel will cope with Etixx being at the front all the time. Giant always stayed in the shadows up until the last few km unlike Etixx who like to lead, we will see how fit he really is against the likes of Greipel.

    Well I think it's great to see so many top class sprinters. It's so hard to tell who's going to win the stages, Cav isn't so dominant these days but he's far from dead. Too hard to call this early in the season really :)

    Teams & Riders Mark Cavendish Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: You could see in the tour how anxious he was from going too early in the sprint, being so relieved when he did win and then got ill. I was really happy he signed for Etixx at first but they really put the pressure on him, hopefully he will enjoy racing more next year!

    Kittel

    I'm not convinced it's a good move for Kittel. Etixx like being at the front while Giant strike in the last few Km's. They couldn't get the sprint train right for Cav and he can'd do small climbs like greipel, cav etc. I suspect it's an up yours to Giant for not letting him race this year?

    i think the move to MTN is a great one. He'll be under less pressure in races and a great ambassador for Qhubeka. Like him or not he is a big brand and the publicity will do wonders for the charity :)
