Re: Re: Its hard to consider TREK a weak team, they were in the fight in nearly every race they ran and are what? 6 or 7 in WT ranking... That is not weak. It has been strange seeing them got so many top 5s that should have or could have been wins. I have been trying to figure out what...

So Trek is getting Aru and Degenkolb? Sweet, Ill take it. Real question though. Can a team be a favorite in the Classics, Grand Tours and Sprints? Can a team be 2/3?

Any more news on Dagenkolb to Trek? Thought it a odd and conflicting since they just extended Stuyven and have Theuns for 2 more years. I kinda figured they would lead Trek in the Northern Classics. I am not saying they are Dagenkold, and would love to see him on a Trek, just a little confused.

Re: Re: If you can get a picture of the fork I can tell you. My guess is that it was a Koppenberg because of the climbs and technical turns ect. The difference between the Domane Classics edition and the Domane Koppenberg is geometry. The Koppenberg has Emonda geometry with shorter chain...

Epic ride by Jasper and BVP... BVP has proven multiple times he belongs as a WT rider, sure not one who is going to get a great result, but a fantastic leadout man, strong enough for the cobbles and smart. I make no apologies for being a Trek fanboy, but I have always loved Jasper, praying for...

Re: What about Trek? With Fabian calling it a career, they could use a new leader in the Classics. He would also take over sprint duties from the god awful Nizzolo. Just a thought...

While I still think its a huge mistake to let DVP walk away only to be plucked by SKY.... It looks like Nizzolo will be part of the Trek Factory Racing Classic squad. What are people's thoughts on this? I personally feel Nizzolo is way to soft for the Northern Classics, not fast enough or...

Re: Re: They have sent ridiculously weak teams to a lot of races, including GT's, for two years now. How they want to be more competitive with less riders is beyond me. alafaci-extends-contract-trek-factory-racing-completes-roster-2016 Can you believe this meat head? Like I said, he is an...

So Trek's final roster is 25? There is no roster limit yet is there? Just drives me nuts, Sargent, DVP, Jungles all just let go. How Luca has a job is beyond me.

Trek is really on a roll here... Idiots First- Jungles Second- Busche and now DVP confirms he won't be back with Trek next year.

Christian- I agree that the programs should be called into question, as very few riders looked prepared this year. Arredondo seemed out of sorts, and Zoidl had a very trying year. I am perplexed by Luca saying Jungles had a bad year, I thought he along with DVP were Trek's most productive...

Re: Re: Yeah, what a joke!!!! Jungles has what 1/2 Trek's wins? Guy is a stud, what is Luca looking for? Then it looks like we are going to lose the Van Popples. IMO, Danny is a future cobbles star and would be a big part of the future with Thuens and Jasper. On another note, the new...

Re: Trek has done well with their two new riders, but losing the van Poppels would really hurt. Danny showed that he could do some nice things in the Northern classics, and has shown promise with his sprint.

Re: Re: Stuyven has had a bad season? Yes he has not had any WINS, but has had a lot of very good finishes and shows a lot of promise. Plus he was injured early on and was lucky to come back for any of the classics. Both Van Poppels have had good showings at PR. Trek went so far as to say...

Awesome and Thanks, Huge boost to the Classics squad imo. With Stuyven, and the Van Poppels, TFR will have a much stronger squad in the spring. Thoughts?
