Sorry but Kazakstan is central asia. The last dictator in Europe is either Lukashenko in Bellarus or Putin, depending on your definition of Europe (and defintion of dictator), but either way Kazakstan is not European

This is the vuelta. There are almost no serious multi-mountain stages, so he doesn't have to worry about being isolated, at least not like in the dauphiné. Besides CAS, Zaugg and Hernandez will perform now that Bertie's in red

Voted Contador, cuz I like him. But I don't think neither Quintana or Froome have been beaten yet. Froome had a bad day after crashing the day before and in cold weather which is also where he usually looses time. A lot will be clearer after the TT, but I think it will be close all the way...

He could actually be a good signing for a GC team. He has good positioning, can hold a leader out of the wind, could be good in echelon stages and the like. Like Benna on Tinkoff. That's always a good role for sprinters to take when they no longer have the kick to win sprints, but still have a...

Yeah a won a bunch of races as U23 and then signed a contract with HTC and then it wenmt south. He has been riding continental in Denmark for a couple of years now, without good results, but have had them this year again. He's still only 25 so could still become a good signing. Riis said to...

Majka is a horrible descender and would need more than a minute on everybody at the top if he is to win again.

Guldhammer as Stagiare at Tinkoff-Saxo http://www.tinkoffsaxo.com/news/tinkoff-saxo-presents-rasmus-guldhammer-stagiaire/

I don't know if he's a wasted talent, but he did win Tour de l'Avenir in 2005. Those winners (Gimondi, Zoetemelk, Lemond, Fignon, Indurain) tend to end up not just pulling the break back. However it was always his tempo qualities that were his trademark, and the winners in the mid-2000's of that...

there will be no Tour for Tosso and Rory according to Veloropa on Twitter. List include 6 sure guys and 5 maybes. The6: Bert, Jesus, Rogers, Paulinho, Kreuziger and Roche. The 5: Benna, Matti, Mørkøv, Nicky and Pires :eek:

That is El Bala. Veloropa reportage on Twitter that Tossatto is not on tinkoff Saxo long list.

But if they want an extra flat domestique then Nicky is better, or Karsten Kroon, Trusov or Boaro. Rory is an alrounder as is Roche. Roche is a better allrounder. Roche did not have form last year. He is a fine domestique. IMO

No - Majka won't feature is what I hear. Which Sørensen btw Nicky or CAS? I can't really see what role you envision them in. Roche is better than Paulinho for the team for this tour, especially when Majka is not on the team, and Rory does not have one single area where he is a better rider than...

And by reading carefully, the next sentence said: "So I went to Basel, to visit our head doctor, Andreas Goesele":cool: That's why I asked if you think Froome hit his head!

I agree. Van den Broeck would be a scoop for Contador, but I don't think he has given up on hitting the podium yet either, so why would he ride as second fiddle. Kelderman is another story. The strong Gregario is not the worst thing you can be. Kreuziger's best result is as such for Contador...

I wonder if head doctor is Fabianese for psychiatrist or are you implying that Froome hit his head in the crash? Anyway I think it was a more psycological than physical thing with Froome in the dauphiné. Doesn't mean he's not the favourite for the Tour, but if he can't distance Contador in the...
