Considering many of them look especially random, do you mind me asking what your source is?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

his left thumb

 

[El Pistolero]

Pozzato to Lampre would make sense though. His season is over now anyway. He won't have a big wage anymore next year

You should have seen his face at the presentation of the Tour de Belgique. Haha, what a sad panda he was. Probably also the reason for his crash --> being with his mind somewhere else.

BMC says Ballan, Santambrogio free to race again, for now.

[El Pistolero]

I wonder why now

Hope they don't put those 2 in the Tour.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Hope they don't put those 2 in the Tour.

Just like you, I've just had the thought that "Santambrogio would make convenient support for Evans". They brought them off suspension much quicker last year, but then Evans was riding the Giro last year...

Why do you hope they dont go to the Tour?

 

[craig1985]

IIRC bruyneel doesn't have a sponsor for next year, right?

 

[joy118118]

cant see HTC down to PCT. they still a strong team with a big sponsor...

 

[El Pistolero]

Why do you hope they dont go to the Tour?

Because Ballan has donkey written all over him.

 

[The Sheep]

If Cav leaves I could see their big sponsor moving with him.

 

[HL2037]

rasmussen will win it hands down.sponsors will appear everywhere to beg him to win il giro 2012.everything is put in place.

Probably not. But it is nice to see that the unofficial blacklisting of Michael from Danish cycling is finally over, now many years after his official ban ended.

Like I did with DAOTEC's rumours with a source, I can provide you with a source of these rumours as well. Some people just don't care about trying to find out the truth. They rather have 30 seconds of "fame" here.

Credible source.

It is Stapleton that has closer relationship with the sponsor than Cavendish.

 

[The Hitch]

Im really not following.

What do you mean?

He has zero talent.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

He has zero talent.

Ballan World Champion Count: 1
Gilbert World Champion Count: 0

 

[craig1985]

Ballan has won the RVV and the 4th GT - the Tour de Polonge.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Ballan World Champion Count: 1
Gilbert World Champion Count: 0

He has more clinical issues as well

 

[El Pistolero]

Ballan World Champion Count: 1
Gilbert World Champion Count: 0

And Riis won the Tour. Your point being?
Besides, I don't think it goes in favor of your argument if we compare their palmares.

not saying ballan is better, I'm just amazed a talentless donkey has a WC and Gilbert the Cycling god has none.

I am going to present the theory that winning a world championship is not necessarily the sign of being "the best."

It simply means that you won this particular one-day race on this particular day.
