And also the emergence of Adam Blyth, a fast improving Roelandts and the Gorilla arriving.. So he's probably better off out of there anyway.auscyclefan94 said:Greg Van Avermaet on Omega-Pharma-Lotto: "We were totally bored with each other"
Greg has said he is not riding the tour and he also kicked the boot into Lotto!![]()

First and only auction from seller, no actual pic of the jersey....I'll pass.auscyclefan94 said:Rabobank jersey signed by Koos Moerenhout auction
Wasn't sure if I should post this but it is an auction for an autographed jersey by Koos Moerenhout and the proceeds will go to the QLD Floods relief.
The person who put it up has a trent lowe jersey signed for auction. She is reliable.ak-zaaf said:First and only auction from seller, no actual pic of the jersey....I'll pass.

The young South African had been making quite a name for herself of late, most notably with top 10s in the Ronde van Drenthe and the World Championship RR. If it's true, then it's a tragedy to hit an already-fragile cycling world, and a disaster for her friends and family. RIP.
Carla was 23.
There were 15 teams last year so one more.luckyboy said:Weren't there more teams last year? Pretty sure Katusha and some French team (ag2r?) were there too.
Ehhh.ingsve said:Missing are Astana and Sky who have the past two years winners in Iglinsky and Löfkvist (who was also 2nd last year). Saxo-Bank is also missing which is a surprise to them.
Looks like they weren't invited. Team Sky was expecting to race and it seems from a tweet by Gustav Larsson that Saxo Bank was also surprised they weren't invited.rxgqgxnyfz said:Ehhh.
They're not in the list, because they weren't invited? Or because teams hadn't asked for invitation.
Either way it's weird.
That is so sad. RIP.Libertine Seguros said:News circulating on twitter that HTC-High Road rider Carla Swart has been killed in an accident involving a truck while out training.
