CCC Sprandi Polkowice has received an invitation for Amstel Gold. Get your record back from Gilbert, Davide!

Actually, he rode Amstel Gold last year and finished in the group behind Gerrans and Valverde, but it is obvious that he will be much more stronger than last year.

CCC Sprandi Polkowice has received an invitation for Amstel Gold. Get your record back from Gilbert, Davide!

1. Is CCC in F-W and L-B-L as well?
2. If they are, and Rebelin manages to win all three, won't he and Gilbert simply be sharing the record?

Rebellin already did the triple in 2004, but Gilbert has the record by winning Brabantse Pijl before triple as well.

Actually I had sorta begun thinking if they didn't already share it, but then I couldn't remember if Rebellin had had that result nicked or something.
The record is still just the triple, what Gilbert has is The Record + 1.

that's the venezuelan fed putting savio under pressure for screwing them for many years. wouldn't surprise me if they sign on with southeast right before the giro

Venezuela is going thru a huge economic struggle.
With oil prices very low, and their marked dependency on it, it's very hard to fund sports.
Of course, such pathetic governments can write a check once in a while

It sounds really good, too wonderful!

(Okay, I know this isn't actually news - except it's from the New Shorts article - but this headline sorta made me giggle a bit.)

Ultra sad news. Portuguese junior Guilherme Silva died today, victim of a crash while training, that proved fatal. He rode for Sicasal/Liberty Seguros/Bombarralense.

I did a small ride with him, his mates and a larger group last summer near Caldas da Rainha.
