I like Contador, but because of his friendship with Noval once again Saxo will arive at the tour with only 8 men.

And Gesink is a better TTer than Cav. I'd still prefer to have Cav on my team in a flat TTT though.theyoungest said:*cough* http://cqranking.com/men/asp/gen/race.asp?raceid=22149
Bennati is much more than an 'old sprinter'. For one, he's a better TTist than Morkov.

But maybe riis saves them for the vuelta to help majka?

HCl+HN03 said:I pressume Contador doesnt like danes. Mørkøv and CAS are better than atleast 4 guys that made the team.
Since I dont like Contador for clinic-reasons, Im in a way happy that Im not going to see two of my favorite riders waste energy for him. But its a shame that they cant participate in worlds greatest compettion.
Hope for CAS-show in Vuelta together with Majka.

jyhjyh said:From Saxo-Tinkoff's site about Noval:
'The powerful pace-making Spaniard has added a tremendous amount of experience, raw power and loyalty to Team Saxo-Tinkoff since the 2011 season where he's known as a road bodyguard. His biggest efforts are done before the TV cameras are rolling but the Spaniard has a great value on the road and he's much appreciated.'
Cimber said:Others can dó the same better and yet still be able to work even after the TV transmission has started
jyhjyh said:Sure.
But if it's Noval that makes Contador feel better and more safe it's OK with me.

Kokoso said:What riders finished today together? I think Roche, Rogers, Contador, Kreuziger, Hernandes, Bennati...anyone else?
Very good result today, not much people expected that including me.
