If I'm not mistaken Quick-Step is owned by Mohawk Greenworks, which is an American company.
Probably won't make any difference, but there is a tie (if I'm correct , that is).

You are correct, they bought Quick-step a few years ago.

Baby Schleck says Wiggins was unprofessional over his transfer to sky [the telegraph]

personally, i think Andy acted unprofessionally at the Tour route launch with that cheap suit and jeans.. :D

Like he can talk. Yes, him calling Moncoutié "*** in the head" out of nowhere with no provocation was much more professional, of course.

Each day he's a bigger a**hole than the previous day.

Frank and Andy may be brothers, but their personalities are day and night.

I hope he can win the Giro. He won't beat Contador or Andy Schleck in the mountains, rather he doesn't have the power to attack and drop the two of them, so he should put all his efforts into trying to win the Giro. Like Menchov did.

+1

I think he would need a tdf course like 2007 or 2006 where ther was alot of time trialling. i think the other teams like saxo, radioshack, garmin, sky, rabobank and possibly BMC that they can't wait to the final climb to attack or hurt contador. I feel that they will also have to put pressure in the cobbled stages whre 1 or 2 of the gc guys will falter. BMC with burghardt, ballan and hincapie might excel there.

Jacques de Ceaurriz died today.
Click to expand...

It was a hit?

PARIS — Jacques de Ceaurriz, the French anti-doping lab director who co-developed the urine test for EPO, died Tuesday. He was 60.
The French anti-doping agency did not give the cause of death.
De Ceaurriz was prominent in the global fight against doping. He and Francoise Lasne, a doctor at the French anti-doping agency, developed the test for the endurance enhancer EPO. De Ceaurriz, a former pharmacist, worked with several labs before concentrating on doping issues in 1997.
In 2005, the French sports daily L'Equipe alleged that seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong used EPO during the 1999 race. De Ceaurriz said the lab could not confirm the positive samples cited in the paper were from Armstrong. But he said the EPO test was absolutely reliable, even for analyzing old samples.
