Pellizoti's new home (non doping thread)

[ansimi]

I'd like to see him stay at Liquigas.

His talents would really be a perfect fit at Sky though.

 

[Parrulo]

why no liquigas option? he will stay.

 

[luckyboy]

I think he'll stay. It'd make Geox even more interesting if he went there though.

 

[Altitude]

why no liquigas option? he will stay.

He won't stay because he'll constantly have to take a back seat to Nibali and Basso. If he wants a GT he'll leave.

Considering he's a card-carrying member of the fascist Fiamma Tricolore, I'm waiting for the option "get stuffed" to be added.

PS: It's "Movistar", nothing to do with "Movies"

Pellizoti is a member? I remember someone once said he was racist and wouldnt kiss a afro carribean podium girl, but this was disproved with a picture.

If its true, he does his best to cover his skinhead allegiances.

Rumour I heard earlier in the week was he was definately leaving leaky.. My gut is he will go to astana.. An italian on a spanish team seems a little odd.

Where did the transfer thread go?

Appolonio & Hunt confirmed for Sky;I hope they've something more exciting up their sleeve soon.

 

[JRTinMA]

With all the controversy surrounding him I don't think Sky should even be choice. Wouldn't they fly in the face of their mission. He will stay at LG-C.

There were seven Italians on Spanish ProTour teams in 2010.

Marzio Bruseghin at Caisse d'Epargne
Eros Capecchi, Ermano Capelli, Fabio Felline, Giampaolo Cheula, Marco Corti and Michele Merlo at Footon

However, I don't think there were any at the lower level.

As regards Spaniards on Italian ProTour teams in 2010, there were none whatsoever.

However, on the ProConti teams you have:

Didac Ortega at Acqua e Sapone
Luís Ángel Mate at Androni Giocattoli (soon to be joined by Ángel Vicioso, right?)
Sérgio Pardilla and Francisco Ventoso at CarmioOro (both soon to return to Spain with Movistar)

On the other hand, Movistar have a stacked lineup but no real leader... lots of people who can get in the 6th-20th area but not really anybody who can get top 5 without a bit of tactical brilliance allied to a bit of luck...

 

[Matthijs]

I'd love to see him at Androni

That's what I tought!

 

[blaxland]

If he leaves Liquigas then my selection would be Team Sky,then all he has to do is get British Citizenship and Sky can have their first GT winner...

Unless that's a wig, there is no way Pelli's a skinhead.

Nationalist, maybe, but skinhead, no. He looks like he stepped out of a L'Oreal ad.

Thats what i meant

That facists are often skinheads , so i dont see him as much of a facist, since he has such special hair (obviously in jest)

They should be trying to persuade Dan Martin to change his licence and join them. He is the only British rider with GT potential.and he is as British as Wiggo.

Pellizoti wouldn't last to the team presentation with Brains-ford and the bureaucracy that is sky management
