on Liquigas - most impotant will be if L. remains as a team sponsor after this season or not. But anyway i see Nibali leaving, Kreuziger maybe (i think he will be happy to stay - lives in Italy, speaks italian - but depends on situation) and Basso staying for sure (hes a star).
on young GC competition -
1. Andy - exceptional climber + hes the leader of such a superstrong team as Saxo and that makes a huge difference (Nibali and Kreuziger still waiting for a chance like this). And one of the most interesting things for me this year is what he will do with his TT?
2. Roman - best TT of the young ones (except Tony Martin), excelent climber (not so fancy as Conti or Andy but very very solid) and he can definitely lead a team if he get's a chance. My opinion - if he was riding last Vuelta for result as a team leader, he'd finish on podium. Same with the Giro. But he want's Tour so has got to be a lot better
3. Vincenzo - strong climbing, strong TT - I like him very much, but I thing this year he will not have better TdF than last year. Can't see that happen in Liquigas this year. He will have to change a team, and prove himself as a leader.
4. RG - as much as i like him, two top 10 Vuelta results (with full team support) still didn't convinced me. The best thing to show what hes capable of will be this years TdF - beacause who will succeed in this "massacre" and get into top 10 will definitely prove himself.
5. A lot of other great young riders - probably someone will suprise in the future and end up being better than those 4. Great years ahead of us
