I'm predicting Geraint Thomas for the Brit nats. Who will carry Cav's water bottles during the race by the way? Is there seriously not a single other Brit in HTC?

Not while Matt Brammeier is pretending to be Irish.

The Danish is also June 26th and as far as I've been able to find out in Haderslev. If I find anything else I'll post it here.

Gilbert will not ask his team to ride for him as OPL will split. He says getting a good result/winning might be very important for next year for some of his teammates.

Class.....

 

[El Pistolero]

Class.....

But he also starts with ambition. He's just going to do it without team mates. At least try and do it.

I really hope he wins anyway, he's gotten so many podium places at the Nationals already... In 2006 he was second, in 2007 he was third, in 2009 and 2010 he was second.

Not a problem with that - but it shows class and leadership. ie you all go for it if you win the market will be better for you. I like it.

He might win but no one can complain. he as an individual was the best - be funny if the rest of OPL road as a team though against Phil

Bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're completely useless.

I thought you were meant to be updating the first post with all the details.

Talk about starting what you dont finish.

 

[greenedge]

I wonder who shall win the Danish one. Rabo, Saxo, Leopard or Christina-Watches? Also in the French one Voeckler has said he wants the jersey to stay in Europcar.

RE Danish Championships:Usually Saxo Bank win this,but i think Reihs and Rasmussen from Christina Watches have this on their radar.Look out big boys...Good to see the race being held on the small island of fyn.

One of the Saxoboys actually spoke about the fact that they probably won't be able to control the race as much as they've been able to in other years.
And you forgot HTC, they've got (two) Danes as well; one who's even a former champion himself.

I finally completed all the race links until I saved the editing and then hit cancel changes so I will re-do the final nationals later.
