auscyclefan94 said:I doubt anybody is happy there. Gilbert will be hoping to do something this weekend. Gent was a big embarrassment for them.
He's stepping up as we speak, in Pais Vasco. He was strong in the first stage, and he'll probably be able to finish top-10 today.blaxland said:+1 agreed....but Gilbert cant possibly carry the whole omega/lotto team this year too can he?I mean Jurgen van breakaway???Cadels replacement leader..What has he done this year??

Replace Posthuma with Moerenhout and I think you have it right there. But note that Freire isn't among the 5 preselected riders, which could mean something.craig1985 said:Menchov
Gesink
Boom
Freire
ten Dam
Garate
Niermann
Posthuma
Clement
?
Niermann is the best domestique they have. He's invaluable. And he's Gesink's best friend in the squad. 1+1=2.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:I depends really on Friere.
Think my nine would be..
Gesink
Menchov
Garate
Boom
LTD
Clement
Posthuma
Weening
Moerenhout
Though I like having friere at the tour, I'd leave him home this time. Apparently Niermann works like crazy on the flats for the team, But i dunno... think I would prefer weening and koos in the sqaud.
I think those three are due to team orgies rather than EPO use.issoisso said:Chicken's bad results this season are explained by mononucleosis.
Another case to add to the metric f***ton of mononucleosis cases in the recent past . Mollema, Vermeltfoort, Reus (see a pattern yet?) Rogers, Cunego, Deignan, Wurf, de Ketele.
And a ton more I'm surely forgetting right now. Not really surprising once you remember continued EPO use puts you at a much higher risk of contracting the disease.
