Kvinto said:Exactly. Without Pozzato, who by the way may suck on cobbles once more (i don't want it to happen of course) Farnese Vini is pretty much the same as Euskaltel. But you're right - it's hard to find 7 PROF teams with decent cobbled squads.
El Pistolero said:They have Kevin Hulsman.
Kvinto said:if i'm not mistaken on the last Paris-Roubaix Euskaltel reached the finish with one rider
EDIT: wow, and Ronde with 3!!!
El Pistolero said:Yeah, but Kevin Hulsmans is an actual usefull domestique.
roundabout said:Hopefully nothing happens to Pippo because it's obviously a 1-rider wildcard
nobilis said:The four wild cards for the Amstel Gold Race has been announced. No major surprises :
- Project 1t4i
- Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator
- Accent Jobs-Willems
- Landbouwkrediet-Euphony
roundabout said:To be honest I don't quite get the love that race organizers seem to have for Skil, but ok.
Yes, that's basically it, I guess.Der Effe said:Having Kittel and Degenkolb there could be quite interesting, right?
El Pistolero said:I really like the Farnese squad, so I don't mind that they got an invitation. Kevin Hulsmans, Filippo Pozzato and Oscar Gatto is quite a good team in my opinion. Oscar Gatto definitely impressed me at that Giro stage.
