i think isd are really getting a promising team with visconti rujano and sinkewitz
heres for hoping the vuelta give them a nice surprise what do people think the chances are?
It's a long shot IMO, even before the signing of Sinkewitz. You have the same 16 teams automatically invited (including Bbox and Cofidis. Then Ag2r-La Mondiale, Astana, Française des Jeux, Euskaltel-Euskadi, Caisse d'Epargne, HTC_Columbia, Team Milram, Team Saxo Bank, Lampre-Farnese Vini, Quick Step, Omega Pharma Lotto, Rabobank, Footon-Servetto, and Liquigas-Doimo) to the Vuelta (pending if there is a doping scandal), then out of Andalucía-Cajasur, Cervélo TestTeam, Xacobeo-Galicia, Vacansoleil, Skil-Shimano (of which the Vuelta organisers have said they both have a good chance of getting an invite), plus Garmin-Transitions, Radio Shack, Katusha, and Team Sky.
You would think Andalucía would be certainties considering the race starts in Seville, and the same for Xacobeo. Aye, it's going to be tricky.
