Impressive effort by Lobato. I like his chances at Milano - San Remo if he keeps this up. :)

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...

What exactly is that supposed to prove? :confused:

Just by following this forum and reading the comments (mostly yours) I can see that your way, way, WAY too much into this Male Cyclist of the Year stuff.

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 -...

This is still only marked as a "rumour" and cyclingfever usually picks up just about every rumour there is, so we'll see about that.

128. Benat Intxausti +18:04 131. Eros Capecchi +18:04 DNF Giovanni Visconti Great start for MOV :mad:

1. Froome 2. Quintana 3. Contador 4. Nibali 5. Pinot 6. Bardet 7. Van Garderen 8. Mollema 9. Zubeldia 10. Ten Dam

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. :)

And the signing of Salerno makes you think so? :confused:

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! :)

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.

I think that is kind of obvious, when you negotiate about salaries you might wanna take every argument there is, and that's a good one. :o

: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
