Since that new "Luxembourgish" doesn't has an sponsor I see this possible... They maybe are going to sign for just one year while they create a really stable team in Luxembourg...

Thanks. Don't see any mention of Footon there, but I'm assuming it's the same team, as has been suggested. Quite a good opportunity for someone: a Protour team (presumably) with room for leaders. I don't know if Cunego can carry the whole thing, though. Apart from anything else they'll want someone to ride the GC.

Mauro Gianetti lots to come

I'd sign Rujano any day!

They should sign him inmediatly and take him for La Vuelta... with the tons of mountains that La Vuelta has and the pretty nice form that Rujano will has after La Vuelta a Colombia, He will has an amazing performance! I think that they are not going to sign Cunego to be the absolute leader but for Leader in the Spring Classics and as a rider to look for stages in Le Tour and try a good spot in Giro's GC...

the team will be italian based. I doubt he will get rujano although I;'m sure he will try anything to get henao. he tried last year but didn't have enough money.

mmm Rujano was in conversations with Footon before Geox takes the command... mmmm I think that He is still on the table as a possible sign... Also He is showing a quite good form in La Vuelta a Colombia, not the best but a good form...

 

[DAOTEC]

Ryo Hazuki his whole list of COL talented climbers is on the table

Gianetti want to play a big role in the mountains again, cause all/most of the media expose (hours of broadcasting) are being done during mountain stages.

Seeing as Geox's website is beige, I wonder how different the jersey will be?

I think that they'll go for a dark blue - white combination...! and Is going to be a pretty nice kit...!

Fabio Duarte confirmed for 2 years to GEOX

Fabio: "I have several offers from the best elite seven teams in the world's, and all are quite tempting. I want to race the Giro d'Italia, my wish is there to enlist in the great cycling. This is my goal.
25, Duarte fits into the team philosophy Gianetti to sign and train new talent.

Last year it announced a move to Footon but was denied later.

Think the moment has come that Colobians will start flooding Europe.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

duarte is 24, not 25. I hate articles that are wrong on such easy to check facts

well i hope so.it's possible a team with henao,duarte and rujano?it would be insane

 

[Barrus]

I see it for me now.

The only thing that that team should include is Vino, it would be attack, attack ATTACK!!!!
As soon as the road goes up, one of those would go, if catched the other. Ah, what a dream that would be, it would completely destroy those trackstanding, whining wusses

 

[Libertine Seguros]

nah Barrus - let Vino retire with Astana, then have him take over as DS. Could you imagine his tactics? "I need you to attack yesterday!" "What, Vino?" "Only if you go back and attack in the past can you get enough attacking in to satisfy me!"

Allright, but get those three Colombian guys on board as well

And how about Jacky Durand as team boss?

I can imagine it now... stage 1 of the Tour, the entire team spend the day in a nine-man breakaway.

 

[DAOTEC]

Right Barrus but maybe we can settle for the top 3 of the VaC at the moment, that will do fine don't you all agree ...

1.- 32 HENAO,Sergio Luis INDEPORTES ANTIOQUIA 47:25:44
2.- 31 ESP SEVILLA,Oscar INDEPORTES ANTIOQUIA a 2:30
3.- 1 VEN RUJANO,Jose LOTERIA DE BOYACA a 2:50

[Ryaguas]

Ricco ? the Cobra and Gianetti team-up again ?

Why do you say that??

Quick Step or Vancasoleil are the most likely... Team Geox is an option but I think that would be the last... I don't know...

I wonder what this means for the Cervelo Test Team. The team needs to find a real GC contender or go back to only sponsoring bikes.

It's perfectly possible to have a very good team without any GC contender. See Quick Step, or almost every Ferretti team ever.

Not sure what Xavier Tondo would have been able to do if: a) He hadn't been working for Sastre at the Giro, b) he hadn't broken his collarbone just before the Vuelta. In any case he's not to be dismissed entirely.
