italian u23 teams protested at the presentation of the giro bio against participation of the colombian selection. reason? because they are too strong...
Incredible... organiser said I can't forbid a team to ride because they are too strong. someone down the hall shouted "shoot them!"
italian u23 cycling exposed by colombians in past 2 years. without clinical materials they have nothing in the mountains.
they are lucky though as the colombian team will most likely not start this year due to again incredible political struggles within federation and who will select the riders and from what teams... colombia is like brazil. the best cyclists/footballers but the worst organisers/directors

But the question is how to warm up? Will he be ready for Burgos, now the main traditional warmup, or Poland at the same time (now that it's made a move to be tougher it looks like better preparation)? Surely it's a bit too much to use Portugal as a warmup (and would Radioshack even go? I mean, they have a strong Portuguese presence on the team, but with the team having to do Poland and Eneco, and presumably wanting some riders in for Colorado...). The early start of the Vuelta this year is also quite a damaging thing for this warming up.The Hitch said:

It depends how bad it is. Austria is a 4 weeks away. Wallonie is 3 weeks later.
Usually it doesn't take a lot of time for the infection to go away.

Official team Shack page says
TdF - Austria - Wallonie - San Sebastian - Poland for July
and Eneco - Utah (overlapping) before the Vuelta (which is pretty hillariously named in the calender
)
That's it. No Burgos, Volta, Ain.

I just read in the newspapers that Phinney earns 400000 euros annually. Hahaha, BMC is such a dumb team

Same newspaper also said he was the highest earning neo pro at the moment.Dekker_Tifosi said:
No offense, but wages like that are plain stupid. Certainly isn't the best neo pro in the peloton, by far.

No Phil would never go to a team where he has no support at all. And he can earn as much in every team he goes to, so cash won't be the thing on his mind.dlwssonic said:
He has more then one brain cell
I guess that does make him fit in well with the Schlecks though Phil is quite a bit more popular in the peloton than Cancellara by the way. He has friends everywhere like Davide Rebellin, Vinokourov, Thor Hushovd, Tom Boonen, Bjorn Leukemans, Cuddles, Mickaël Delage(who do you think the FDJ guy was helping OPL out at LBL). He can go anywhere and have some friends.
He rather has a good team. Something Mr. Cancellara didn't think of. I bet they're paying him next to nothing at Leopard
. Besides no one was saying they had to give that cash to Cancellara, but could also have been given to "friends" of him to drag them into the team as well.

Tour de Wallonie is used as a Tour replacement. To have something to do for those that are skipping le Tour. But more and more people are going to the Tour de Pologne these days.Libertine Seguros said:

Well, Poland only moved to early August a couple of years ago. When it was in September and going against the Vuelta Wallonie was probably the biggest/best race to do in late July-early August kind of time unless you were Vuelta preparing in Burgos. Now, Poland is shortly after it and offers those precious WT points.El Pistolero said:

Still, had a very good career. One of the best domestiques during the past 15 year. With of course his win in FW as his personal peak.Michielveedeebee said:yes but it's pretty sad
