    Cadel Evans Discussion Thread

    With Radio Shleck now only needing one licences (and im not sure which one they have gone with>??) Who else have the automatic points for next season?? This will become more clear after the Vuelta, but if Geox win, surely they will have enough point for TdF 2012, also Green-edge may be close...

    Transfers and Rumours 2011 > 2012

    I Heard from an australian cycling friend that Saxo's Richie porte will go to the new Australian team...Greenedge as the team leader. Not sure how much sense this makes seeing as Porte's still a rookie, but it may be the best they can get

    Team Saxo 2010 v 2011

    After looking at the difference between what Saxo did in 2010 not only giving andy a great platform for TDF GC assault but allowed Sparticus and Frank to ride the races they wanted and Andy wasnt the team leader in every race. This year using Porte as good example, after 7th in last years...
