CSC was absolutely flying as a team ten years ago when both of them were there the last time, so next year should be good as well. Now they just need to hire Cecchini.Moose McKnuckles said:Julich and Yates at Tinkoff?
What's next? Motoman driving the bus?

the sceptic said:Tinkov is the new Brailsford
deValtos said:Fuglsang “To a certain extent I can understand people who doubt my choice of team, but then I would like to know which teams we can rely on?” he said to TV 2 Sport. “I would not rely on everyone from Tinkoff-Saxo. There is also someone there that has a less nice past, which I would not trust.”
I assume he's just referring to Riis, but honnestly could be a number of people ...
In terms of what ? Sure both are dodgy teams, but equating Tinkov with Brailsford over a staff hiring of which they seem to have polar opposite policies is pushing it a bit.
You could be a little more subtle with your trolling
The Hitch said:Brailsford hired plenty of known dopers. To act like its ok because he claims to have a different "policy" than what he actually does is both dishonest and stupid.
Its like Tony Soprano claiming he has a policy of not hurting innocent people. Sure a lot of the people he hurt were innocents. But he claims its his policy not to so that makes it ok
"I'm against doping. I'm totally against doping. I raced when I was young and won 40 races but I never, ever doped.

deValtos said:Indeed he has done, though looking through the world tour teams he's not exactly near the top of the list for hiring known dopers.
I don't even know what this is addressing.
Really no need to defend a troll post.

trevim said:I like Fugslang. He talks lots of crap, gets dropped like a stone at times and I find the whole picture very funny and thoroughly amusing.
I'm portuguese and I see how the public reacts to everything Rui Costa says or do so..... I do believe youmrhender said:You might not belive it..
But in Denmark he get's a lot of credit for always beeing articulate and mature in his appearances...
The poor journalists/experts/commentators also like to talk him up to a GT-podium..
I guess Riis/Rasmussen set the bar high
Oleg Tinkov @olegtinkov
I'm exited to have Bobby Julich and Daniel Healey at @tinkoff_saxo ! They're the best coach and sport science and nutritionists in velosport
Oleg Tinkov @olegtinkov
