At risk of being shot by Tchmil I have to say that Katusha have been like 2 teams this year.

The classy riders who have skills and get results: Rodriguez, Moreno and pretty much their whole Giro squad.

And then the donkeys, who have been completely underwhelming in almost all races, appearing in breakaways without any purpose or outcome (with the exception of a lucky Brutt), trying to look large in major sprints only to take crumbs (or win in crappy races like Galizymov). The team has gone downhill in the last 12 months that's for sure.

Goign back to the topic (finally) I'm not surprised some talents are leaving, what's good about this place right now?!?!?!! Someone said that Tchmil is running things to kaka and it looks like it.

Actually, in a way, three teams. The continental feeder team has almost twice as many victories as the main team (yeah yeah, i know, "crappy races"), so it does seem like the team is doing what it is supposed to - promote local talent

Young, smart guy full of ambition and potential, all of the sudden finds himself in the turmoil of rumors concerning him leaving to Astana? Why would he need it? Right now he's racing for a national team, which takes care of him and protects him. I see certain strings, which concern Kolobnev's case. Egor is Kolobnev's friend, and he will never forgive Tchmil's betrayal.



P.S. The take over has been postponed, I mean haven't you watched tour de france???

Tchmil betraying Kolobnev. Maybe Kolobnev shouldn't have used doping?
Not that Tchmil didn't know..., but as a rider you know that if you get caught the team has to remove you. Kind of an theatreshow.

Heh, I know.

Is this the way russian media sees it though?

I don't think Russian media cares that much about Tchmil, Kolobnev or Katusha unfortunately
