Did anybody notice if somebody on Leopard helped Monfort on some of those brutal climbs? I watched every stage but the cameras never really showed much and the announcers were 2 clueless guys from a station called Universal. I know Fuglsang rode with him at times but that's about it.

Zaugg was the most important domestique. He finished in the same group with Monfort and Fuglsang once, then he mostly stayed with Fuglsang because he had much more difficulties towards the end. It's a pity he had to quit, he really did a great job. Rohregger was pretty good too!

When LEOPARD TREK signed Monfort I said it'll be interesting to see how far he can go when he is let loose ... I'm glad they finally let him loose and he got such a great result!

Is he one of the riders staying at the new trek-shack team, or is he on his way out. Would be a good replacememt for porte at saxo.

According to latest unofficial news Monfort and Zaugg are confirmed for 2012.

They want to announce the full roster on Thursday. Only 3 days to go.

That's a joke, really. On most teams Monfort would at least be their 3rd best GT rider or so, thus would get his own chances once in a while. At radiopard he will be like their 7th best gt rider, absurd...

Monfort:

"I am still under contract with this structure, but we have to see how the merger will develop. I also want the same sportive guarantees as this year. I have no problem at all to work for my leaders, but I also want to play my own card at certain races.

I was contacted by several big teams that are looking for riders with my profile. At the moment, I can't tell them much. I don't want to close any doors. I don't even know if I'm free next year."

I hope he'll leave for another team. He is one of the riders I like and it would be hard to see him in the team with a first name "RadioShack" :(

I think they're getting a bit sloppy. I mean they haven't even found an alternative name for Radiopard.

This is the weirdest first post I've ever read. Why resurrect such an old topic? Why pretend it's present tense? Why is there a hidden link in the post? Why make a carbon copy of one of your posts from another profile if you want to create a double profile?

I haven't noticed hidden links before, but the rewording of old posts/threads and links to suspicious websites are definitely not new concepts on here.
