[Green Edge] Shayne Bannan, Gerry Ryan and an Aussie Pro Team for 2012?

[timmers]

Hopefully they can announce the full roster before the WC. Any idea on what female riders they have signed yet???

They don't have a women's team so none.

 

[Tuarts]

Ignoring timmers,

Chloe Hosking, Shara Gillow, and Ruth Corset have all been linked in a CN article:

Some Dutchies also linked on a dutch site somewhere

 

[Dundee]

Chloe Hosking will not be riding for GreenEdge in 2012.

 

[Green_&_Gold]

This website has Millar from garmin coming across. Any truth to this?

[Ferminal]

No, it's based on a rumour months ago which turned out to be incorrect.

Thanks for that. Are there any rumors out there about any more Non Aussies coming to GE.

 

[Ferminal]

I don't think so, apart from a Kiwi or two (Dean/Roulston).

 

[Tuarts]

Lots. Go out and look.

Cyclingfever, CQ, CTBlog there's numerous pages set up with rumours of who's going where.

 

[Tuarts]

I don't think so, apart from a Kiwi or two (Dean/Roulston).

Beppu, Dean, Roulston, Larsson are all the "foreign" rumours left so far.

Kroon is confirmed to Saxo isn't he?

No just a strong rumor as far I can remember

 

[Tuarts]

Ah, then you can leave him in the GE rumours too.

They might well anounce Durbridge (and possibly Hepburn) tomorrow after the TT tonight if they indeed have signed them...

i haven't seen Durbridge, but Hepburn was riding on a GreenEDGE Scott Plasma with "scott" hidden with black tape

definently a sprinters team now with davis on board. should be good!

 

[Tuarts]

Davis has been officially announced, aren't you all surprised?

 

[Ferminal]

So surprised I didn't bother posting it, and there's no way I'm reading the press release.

I guess I better update the transfers thread though

 

[Reghere]

Rainbow Jersey ?

I actually think that Greenedge could have the rainbow jersey next year. The team seems to be better suited to these one day races vs stage races & the cobbled classics, and sets up very well against other teams. With the majority of the Aussie team from Greenedge along with Dean & some of the other foreign riders they will represented in the peleton.

What do you reckon a good season will be next year for this team - 20 sprint victories and 1-2 classics?

Depends on what you count as classics.

 

[Tuarts]

Any one day race in the classics season(s).

 

[just some guy]

20 - 25 wins for the season.

70-100 top 10 for the season.

either a high end classic or a stage win at the Giro or Tour.

 

[yourwelcome]

Jeez. I'm Australian and wish the Aussie riders would just stay with various international teams. There's enough jingoism and fake 'nationalist pride' around already.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I knew they'd get Davis...idiots.

They won't get near that goal.

 

[Midnightfright]

Agree I think 20 wins is difficult to come by with out a very strong team or elite sprinter gd luck to them though.

Ps anyone know if there kit had been released yet I've heard its gunna be bland to the extreme?
