cheers
will10 said:Cheers Hitch, how depressing, sigh. Although i'm reasonably optimistic of overhauling Libertine and his Colombian army lol
The Hitch said:I actually considered picking him as i thought he would be Greipel 2011 but decided 600 wasnt worth the risk.
A question though.

Are any of you guys not from Australia?
The Amateur said:I am not from Australia but I have followed Goss since his days on CSC. I picked him based on his development the last years, his improvements on the cobbles, team tactics, Greipel leaving and so on.
On another note: Maaskant out... that makes 4 riders out for me - and of course Valverde but I knew he was not going to race. Hopefully some of my other riders will start to score soon. Looks like Tejay will win the battle for 2nd place tour-rider against Velits.

Parrulo said:wait wut? martin velits right?
The Amateur said:Actually I was thinking of Peter Velits. It might just be me but I consider him a much bigger talent than his brother. I am not sure what to expect from Martin.

roundabout said:No, he meant second man behind Tony Martin.
roundabout said:To be honest they both won't finish in the top 10 so they'll probably be leading out Cavendish
The Amateur said:Ok, I can see why my post(s) can be misunderstood. I was talking about gc contenders. Cav is the biggest star on the team but that is another story. The team will probably be riding for him on every stage he has a chance to win.
I do however think Tony Martin will be their primary contender for the GC. I expect him to fail but I still think they will try. He looks a lot stronger this year but he cannot follow the best in the high mountains.
Regarding the P. Velits vs. Tejay battle: I was (and still to some extent still are) putting my money on Peter Velits as the top contender for the tours this year but Tejay has been looking very strong thus far - and he sure is a great big talent. I expect him to surpass Velits - if not this year then in the next years.
But that is just my guess of course.

Congrats to The Hitch for the Top 10. Well deserved!
Somehow I made it into the Top 20. (18th) Not sure how, but I got no hopes to stay there for very long
The Hitch said:Thanks man, though i dont think im a very popular top 10er otherwise.
Youve got Cancellara and Boonen, and the cobbled classics are just coming up now. Unless they crash into eachother, your going to go up before you go down.
