    Who will win the 2015 tour de france?

    Spoken like a Nibali fan, this looks quite alright, but as a Quintana fan i hope he can limit the damage on the cobbles, and it is not said that he will automatically lose time on crosswind stages :confused: If he gets his peak right in the mountains, Quintana should be able to at least compete...

    Male Cyclist of the year (2014)?

    Male Cyclist of the year (2014)?

    I don't think that a pure sprinter like Kittel (with all due respect to my fellow german) should be in contention for "Rider of the Year" given how little excitement there is in winning bunch sprints, and how little impact he has in any other kind of race. He only takes control of the last -...

    Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

    True, but the departures of Konig and Machado will still be hard to offset, so i don't know whether they'll do considerably better than this year, but we'll see. As a fellow german i wouldn't mind though. :)

    Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

    Solid dom, slowly but surely past his prime though. We'll see if he can still support Costa & co. Thanks for six years and all the best, Ruben! :)

    Transfers and Rumours 2014 > 2015

    So again more than 25 riders for Movistar? :o Unless someone like Capecchi or Amador would leave the ship, can't really see that happening.

    Il Lombardia 2014

    :confused: Why? It's not that anything new happened today, Contador can't race one-day races properly, Valverde throws certain victories away, why would anything change after today? It's not like Valverde wins such a ranking for the first time :o
