Maybe he goes to a Colombian team, that's what the directvélo article hints.

do movistar continue then in 2014? I hope so

He exagerate a little. I think Gesink, Froome, Evans, Hesjedal... over 70 Kg , can finish this race if they are in top form... not in top 10 anyway, but maybe the Froome of the Tour I think could reach top ten here if he has a good team working for him, about 15 min from the winner.

Yes, an article was released last week with their director which said they will be active this year.

very hard though, even for froome or horner in the best form

like masciarelli brothers, i asked them once how the level is in colombia i think they were racing. they said those guys were supersonic, i think the best one of europeans was back around 2 hours after a few days of racing lol

the sad thing is all of those hyper nuclear races aren't even televised


this legendary man is ready

did i understood right that he will race vuelta a colombia??!

none of those are over 70 kg, not to mention they are very tall and have thus very low bmi

I was shocked to see his name on the list for Tachira.
Didn't he say he was calling it quits?

no he said he would quit after tachira, he wants to win one more time and then become president of venezuelan federation, which would be the ultimate middle finger for savio.
