2011 Signing Suggestions

Oh, what about Breschel, wasn't there said to be some possibility of him leaving Saxo Bank? He'd be a genuine threat, someone who QST could use tactically.

Good call! Breschel and Boonen, that'd be a superb duo.

Will Lefevre really want to shell out on Breschel when he has Devolder and Chavanel already in the stable?

If Breschel wants to get away from Saxo Bank, I'm sure he'd like to be the sole leader in the classics, which he is good enough to be. In my opinion, Boonen and Breschel are too much the same kind of rider to be on the same team. The Cancellara- Breschel combo is better given that it's one pure attacker and one "sprinter", who potentially could just sit on and save energy until Cancellara is caught (like that would happen!)

I think that's the point.

Chavanel could very well stay, but Volderke? I don't think he'll be with QST come 2011.

Good point also. I seem to be incapable of independent thought tonight. Must be exhaustion.

until Cancellara is caught

Funny man!

Nick Nuyens/ Boonen? I was thinking Flecha, but presumably he's staying at Sky. Nuyens was coming in for criticism from Michael Boogerd for lack of results, but is in general a reliable rider, right? Although in the link in the OP Boonen mentions help in the sprints

How are Saxo travelling re sponsorship?

Plenty of talent there should they go under.

Would be quite happy with Cancellara & Porté at BMC

That would just feel so weird, having AC on Quickstep.. AC needs to go to Caisse already, wth is taking so long. That way Vino can be captain crazy for the Kazakh team.

Please please PLEASE can BMC get some decent climbers!!!!!!

Yeah i think they will...LLoyd(Needs to be alongside old mate Cadel)
Mollema(Would be handy domestique)Rabo to busy looking after Gesink the crasher..
Kreuziger(to be co team leader with Cadel)
As Bmc have already hired a sprinter for next season a few Mountain helpers seems the way to go...
