I agree: their signings weren't exactly "stop the presses" news, but then look what Gilbert and Thor have done for BMC, and I understand the season is not yet over. Hey, a world championship and Olympic gold medal could change the way I look at things.
Yes, again, that Argos could make the World Tour roster if they really want it. EE may not be around, so there is one open spot. Any more?

Red Number?
RedheadDane is slow. RedheadDane just realized that Kessiakoff is wearing the red number today. Kessiekoff won the Fighter Prize on stage 8. Shouldn't he have been wearing the red number on stage 9?

Yeah. But shouldn't he have been wearing the red number during the TT? And then just nobody wearing it today...
Matt Brammeier (OPQS) has decided not to take his appeal against Cycling Ireland's Olympic selection to the Court of Arbitration for Supports. His initial appeal against CI's selection was successful, only for them to pick the same team again.
Ireland has three slots in the Olympic Road Race. It also has three World Tour riders. Two of those riders, Dan Martin and Nicolas Roche were selected, but Brammeier wasn't. Instead, David McCann, a 39 year old on the RTS Asia Continental team was chosen. And Sam Bennett, a 20 year old rider with An Post Sean Kelly was chosen as the reserve.
McCann has been a strong rider for many years, and Bennett is probably the biggest young talent in Irish cycling, but to be blunt about it, McCann's time is past and Bennett's is yet to come. Cycling Ireland used a ridiculous points system to determine who took its slots which placed more emphasis on decent personal results in very minor races than on the kind of experience a domestique gets in big races.
Brammeier has won the last three national road race championships. If I was him, I'd be very annoyed.

Although I believe Brammeier should have been selected, I am glad that there is still an athlete that is not taking a case to CAS/TAS.Zinoviev Letter said:

L'Equipe are reporting this morning that Liquigas Cannondale will be Cannondale Liquigas next year with Cannondale becoming the main sponsor.
Another team bike sponsor coming into the sport.

This might be the last year of team Netapp. There is a high possibility, that sponsors will withdraw, from cycling :/

that would be a shame, perhaps something could be done with the rumoured new German sponsored team?_?

I guess Gilbert will be happy
He has to rest for 3 days and will decide thursday.
Rabobank have signed Merijn Zeeman, the main trainer/coach for Argos-Shimano. They probably saw their own Tour results, and thought "we can always do worse, look at Argos!"
