So is Stefan Schumacher blacklisted or will he find a good team again some day?

 

[Michele]

4th stage of Tour of China II, individual time trial and Schumacher won again.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

If after his comeback season with Miche the only contract he could find was Christina Watches, I'd say he's probably blacklisted.

 

[pastronef]

thanks Michele, nice to see Christina Watches winning.

by the way, the "winning" podium girl imo is the one of the prologue, on the right, near the Isd rider

 

[Lupetto]

We will see soon. He will be interesting with his UCI points, he will receive for those two 2.1 races in China.

 

[Michele]

Stage 5 of Tour of China II were finally an escape group made it.

blacklisted, like rasmussen

 

[theyoungest]

Which great results by Rasmussen make him deserve a contract with a bigger team?

Same goes for Schumacher BTW, to a lesser extent. I assume his biggest goal this year (or at least for the team) was the Tour of Denmark, where he got 8th. That's a good result, not a great one.

1 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Liquigas-Doimo 25:44:47
2 Jose Serpa (Col) Androni-Giocattoli 0:00:28
3 Rafael Valls (Spa) Footon-Servetto-Fuji 0:01:19
4 Ignacio Pereyra (Arg) Argentina 0:01:37
5 Santiago Botero (Col) Colombia 0:02:15
6 Jackson Rodriguez (Ven) Androni-Giocattoli
7 Jorge Giacinti (Arg) Scott - Marcondes Cesar Sao Jose Dos Campos
8 Michael Rasmussen (Den) Miche 0:02:16
9 Arnols Alcolea (Cub) Cuba 0:02:37
10 Carlos Ochoa (Ven) Androni-Giocattoli 0:03:45

when he was just back(after he got pfeiffer and he's now a joke). besides it's not about having good results. a rider with his status would've found a big team before his comeback already.

big teams fear the UCI and will not hire him

 

[theyoungest]

big teams fear the UCI and will not hire him

Yeah, that's the usual story, but my question is why would they want to hire him? He simply sucks right now. He's not even good enough to be the leader for Christina Watches.

true.but you have to wonder what will be your motivation to ride in the continental peloton. if he will be welcomed back to the big league,maybe he will train and work differently.so we can't know for sure.

why didn't anyone hire in in 2009 then when he was coming back?

They are also the only team who dont have anyone in the breakaway, so the break certainly has a chance.
