Yep. Vino and Menchov did the right thing, Basso, Kloeden, Horner and Evans can't be far away. Maybe one more season for Cadel.

The Principal Sheep said:Bit harsh on Cadel putting him in that group, I also don't want to see Basso listed there either but sadly his time is running out, perhaps one showing in a gt later this year will show us if he should go on to 2014.

Cadel Evans claims that the worst position a cyclist can finish is fourth; but all Klodists know that the worst position is really eleventh

Ferminal said:Top3 in this last three GT ITTs is not well?
webvan said:Nice job indeed ! Klodi might get some new ambitions with that? What's next for him, TDS ?
