[Andy99]

Jane Aubrey has said that GreenEdge has a complete roster and will have some more news soon.

Who's she?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Who's she?

Good question

She's a Cyclingnews journo in Australia.

 

[LukeSchmid]

Does soon mean today?

 

[Tuarts]

Soon in cycling transfer time does not mean as soon as possible.

Expect an announcement between now and November

 

[Jethro]

Are there anyAussies left on the pro-tour circuit that have not either joined or are likely to join (as mentioned above) Greenedge besides Cadel Evans?

Tomorrow apparently

One question, and forgive my ignorance but I've never really followed track cycling, but won't a lot of the riders focus on the Olympics next year? Bobridge, Meyer? Howard? And won't it affect their seasons quite a lot?

 

[euanli]

Dennis - Rabobank CT

Their middle season yes, but expect alot of them to ride the Giro and many early season races then disappear until London 2012.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Dennis - Rabobank CT

you would think so yes. That or he probably rides another season with rabo cont.

 

[theyoungest]

Dennis has to be frustrated a little... last year he'd signed with Pegasus, and now he has to wait at least a year longer before he gets a pro contract. Unless Rabo let him go.

But he has shown absolutely zilch this season, maybe he's been a good domestique but no results whatsoever. That is, until this week in l'Avenir.

 

[greenedge]

Yeah but Dennis has great potential. He has featured on the track a bit as well. Veryyyyyyyy happy about Matty Goss who had me worried that he might go to Sky. Ludicrous in hindsight but worrying for a bit.

yeah he wasn't too great in terms of results. Difficult to know how one has truly gone with the limited coverage with youngsters. He often played second fiddle to markus and bol I guess. Maybe a confidence issue.

 

[danjo007]

i think a lot of people (euros) take the quality of australian riders for granted. without many australian riders, some european guys wouldnt look so good.
greenedge dont need to take euro's (they feel sorry for them tho) look at gilbert and thor - seriously ?? they be some good super-domestics

 

[the_kman]

Still rekon they needed at least a good GC rider. Needed Porte or something...

 

[El Pistolero]

Yeah but Dennis has great potential. He has featured on the track a bit as well. Veryyyyyyyy happy about Matty Goss who had me worried that he might go to Sky. Ludicrous in hindsight but worrying for a bit.

I actually thought Sky was a done deal before I read the recent news.

What's up with teams not announcing their signed riders or riders just saying which team they signed to?

It seriously ****es me off and makes me happy HTC is dead. How long does Cavendish want to remain silent? It's becoming almost childish.

more childish than being angry because you can't know something right now?

What's the rush? HTC still exist, and he won't be racing for his new team for at least 4 months.
