Tiago Machado
Tour Down Under
Volta a Murcia
Classica de Almeria
Volta ao Algarve
Paris-Nice
GP Indurain
Tour Of Basque Country
Tour de Romandie
Tour Of Fjords
GP Gipp (Don't know what this is really)
Tour de Suisse
Tour (He's in the pre selection of 14 riders)

It's a nice schedule, should be able to lead in most small races and Down Under; work for Spilak in Nice/Romandie and Purito in the Basque; maybe co-lead in Suisse. I hope he rides the nationals as well.

Rui Costa trades Algarve for Oman. I hope he doesn't have holes in his pockets....

Gipp is Gippingen (GP Kanton Aargau). 1-day race.

Of course, that makes perfect sense. I was actually thinking of Swiss 1 day races but I could only remember Lugano! Thanks

Greipel will skip Tour Down Under!

Instead, he will start in Mallorca probably and then move to Algarve.

nice, with Kittel in the middle east, more chances for other sprinters. are Swifty or Viviani going down under?

Viviani will ride for national team in San Louis.
Last year Kittel was riding both Down Under and Dubai so we can stll see him in Down Under. On the other hand, he never won a stage there except the criterium before the race itself.

Coquard and Nizzolo are going, both able to score a stage win for sure.

 

[Flamin]

Major showdown upcoming in Ruta del Sol 2015: Contador vs Froome

Contador also does Tirreno and Catalunya before Giro.

My guess is that Froome will back out just before the race with sickness or a minor injury though

What have that to do with schedules?

 

[greenedge]

Does anyone know Michael Matthews' schedule for next year? I'd presume he'd ride the TDU, if even to ride for Gerrans and then ride T-A to help for M-SR, which is a major goal of his. I'd then like to see him skip the Giro and focus 100% on winning a tour stage.

He will aim for MSR then onto the Tour and finally the worlds next year.

Van der Broecks skips Tour. Giro and Vuelta on cards.

Roelandts new contract means he will no longer be part of Greipels train, hopes gives him edge during Classics.

Other news from lotto:
Gallopin will have the same role as last year (so I guess roughly the same schedule)
Wellens will do Tour, won't aim at GC, but will go for stage wins.

Four smart moves from lotto!

edit: Oh, and they attracted De Gendt, to do what he does best: attack, attack, attack.

 

[Eshnar]

VdB doesn't go to the Tour? Wtf happened?

 

[jens_attacks]

first time since 2008 no? amazing yeeeey

 

[Miburo]

VdB doesn't go to the Tour? Wtf happened?

His team finally realised there's no point and VDB2 was pretty much forced to make this decision.

Oh my ****ing god. My whole life is a lie. There's so little things in life you can count on day in day out and now one of those falls to pieces. I don't know what to believe anymore

This is a bigger anomaly than

-Robert Gesink finishing a GT
-Jose Juaquin Rojas winning something
-Amets Txurruka winning something
-Gerrans taking a pull
-Leipheimer attacking
-Andy Schleck keeping his mouth shut
-Nibali, Froome, and or Contador fans agreeing on something
-Ryu Hazuki posting something that actually makes sense

and last but not least

- Descender saying something positive about anything that is related to the Vuelta parcours

Wow

What about after the classics though

Translation: His team is tired of see him failing in the Tour. I predict a Frank Schleck kind of meltdown for his Giro.

What about after the classics though

Stage hunting I hope; he's really versatile but he has few opportunities to show it.

Gallopin will have the same role as last year (so I guess roughly the same schedule)

Regarding Gallopin I hope he puts his nose in the wind in the classics instead of his usual Vaughters tactic of sprinting for whatever the place that is on the line.
Wellens and De Gendt being awesome in breakaways, can't wait
