Will Roman slave in July again? Or will he do a GT for himself, im not saying he should lead instead of Alberto but what difference will he make for Alberto?. If Contador does not have it like last year at the TDF as u seen its pretty meaningless when Sky set tempo i dont see what use Kreuziger is(apart from if Contadoris back on GC and he bridges to RK up the road), RK will not dictate weather they win the TDF it will be Froome and Contador.

I think its wrong after how good he was last year last year he was stronger imo. I just think he should do the Giro and help in July what you think?.:D

Tinkoff-Saxo already have Majka and Roche as their team leaders at the Giro, so i don't see Roman go to Italy. And i think Contador wants some super strong, and mostly fresh, climbers at his side. So if Kreuziger does a tough Giro, he's less of a support for Bertie.

Yes i suppose it would be hard back to back and the fact Roche is Irish means he goes their but i would send Roman and Roche then have Majka for the TDF, it's not like Majka would be no help he would be a great domestique then send 1 of Roche or RK to the TDF, personally i feel Kreuziger deserves to do the Giro Vuelta as a leader we wont know how big a step if any he as made if they keep sending him as a domestique.


I have alwasy been a fan of Kreuziger and feel he was harshly treated by Astana 1 bad day at the Giro and he was made look silly yet still won a stage, he came 5th the year before and he is still young no were near his peak yet.

Don't think he neither has the potensial or the mentality to lead a team. Give him a Vuelta or something (not this year though, as AC is doing the double :p)

Like a bad Kloden

of course it's him. hoogerland has the same legs

Yep. I mean who else would it be. It's either Matti or Roman and why would Matti tag Roman if it's not Roman. Plus Styby made a joke about Roman and Matti RTed it.

Whatever, these legs look powerful - like Amstel winner's legs I'd say. I'm looking forward this year under knew team boss, after last succesful year he could make another step up. This year already began much better than last one. Although I think he hoped for more at Oman, but that's not what is his season about.

Does anyone know his race program? He could be good on the Paris-Nice course this year? Anyway, think he will be strong in the classics

I think he is going to TA with Roche and Contador. TA got a full program: TTT, ITT and mountain top finish. PN got no mountain top finish and no ITT either.

I think he is reserved to be contador lieutenant. Yes, he was strong last year. Not sure if he was stronger than contador, though. This year is different story. If you see Green mountain, sky was trying different tactic with Henao and Nieve. So Saxo can't afford to have Roche and Kreuziger doing the Giro. They need Kreuziger with Contador. I don't see any other mountain goat at saxo with the same class as Nieve and Henao. (other than majka - but he is going full gas for the Giro).

Poor support and race tactis for Kreuziger at AGR. This way he won't win anything. And considering they had to change his program and send him to Pais Vasco instead of training I think don't look very goof for coming days.

Something is wrong in TST. Official site says that Sutherland was in escape (which was mistake). And that CAS stayed with Kreuziger until foot of Cauberg. But he never But he never helped Roman with positioning what's vital for Cauberg and strong team such as BMC, Orica or Movistar helped their leaders. And no one in escape...
TST was very weak in PV except for Contador and Roman. AGR was the same. Insuficient help at all. I wonder what's wrong with the team.

Imo they had no leg power left.Before Cauberg there where about 40 or 50 riders in the grouAnd lot of riders stated that the pace was really high before Cauberg.imo only Nicki S. was capable of riding with Roman ,but he felt unfortunately.:(

Nothing is wrong with the team, only fans who have no idea what cycling is about is wrong. I think it´s about time you drop the bias-ing attitude at get back to reality and objectivity.
Cauberg is not a hill for Kreuziger, in any regards, at a final on Cauberg he better get out of the way, his race is over.

Well, you cant explain that to a man who obviously has no idea how or what cycling is, not to mention how it is raced.
Read between the lines and you see what I mean. ;)
