    Riis close to Collapse after Contador 'surprise'?

    Ill doing as in cheating, not that he lost the will to gt out of bed. :) I'm no mind reader, so I only know what JV told us. :) For the accusations against Riis and especially the UCI (as they are supposed to police the sport) I hope it doesn't stop here or at the medias, propper...

    Riis close to Collapse after Contador 'surprise'?

    Shouldn't this have had it's own thread? :confused: There's a really big difference between Riis having helped his riders doping and a team betting its entire budget on a rider which UCI hides has been taken for doping. Jonathan Vaugters thought Contador was clean from data the UCI has presented...

    Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

    Cavendish was just a joke from Tinkoff and he only said he liked the rider. :p Isn't he still under contract? Riis is very clear about having no interest in signing Lander for at least another year, if ever. Guy is too unorganized and need to mature. (not my words)

    Lidl-Trek (no longer Radioshack-Leopard Trek)

    And it's enhanced by the crappy shape Andy was in before the injury. Would be like only opening the books the night before the exam.

    Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

    No, to make Octabech happy, you'd actually have to show understanding of what happened. :P In the headline the journalist presents his own question as if it had been spoken by Fuglsang. In reality it's a no news article , nothing has changed since Fuglsangs agent said there was a 90% chance of a...

    Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

    No he did not! One really should bother reading the article instead of just the headline. translated In short, Astana is still in the picture and nothing has changed, not even bad journalism nor naive readers.

    I'm in no position to use such harsh terms, but Voigt's statement was before Fränk popped one.

    If you have a little Riis, Vaughters or Amadio in you, then it can get you a lot.

    Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

    Nah, Riis has never really been into the train thing, not even when the team spent a lot of its energy on TTT'ing. He like his specialist and using them as pieces in a games og chess. Can't really see that changing as a train would be working more to than against Wiggin's strengths. Expect a...

    Training philosophy in various teams

    I think it should as the survival camps are designed to promote communication, teamwork and make the riders cool in stressed situations. However, even teams like Saxo do not have this type of camps that often, most of the camps are focused ordinary training and more importantly measuring where...
