Team pre season camp thread.

[just some guy]

So the teams camps are happening though we should discuss then, maybe post photos, riders tweets re new squads, or team members, plus the 1000 articles written from interviews and media days.

Garmin have had their 1st.

BMC start their 1st on Sunday -

Gilbert was set to travel back to his home in Monaco on Sunday afternoon as he turns his attention to the 2012 season. His work on the road begins in earnest this week ahead of his first training camp with his new BMC team near Calpe, from December 5th to 16th.

“It scares me a little bit,” Gilbert joked to L’Équipe. “It’s long and there are already some rides of five or six hours planned.”

Euskaltel had one coming together at the end of 2011 and look what they did.

Yep, Sammy Sanchez isn't only cyclist, motor enthousiast but also vintager. And of course with the big smile.

They had their first pre 2012 meeting as well. Sadly when they went riding a bit Landa got a puncture and broke his collarbone (the same one he broke twice in 2011, that's a bit of a worry) when he tried to get back to the front.

But more importantly they went to church.

Well... I just assumed it was a random bunch of guys holding a cross-teams-training-section...

It can happen...

The lack of helmets on some of these guys one the other hand... tsk! tsk! tsk!

It's an Astana training camp, the Shack guy will be Janez or Muravjev, Lampre guy will be Gavazzi.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah... I kinda figured.

Partly at least...

Too huge to be Janez.

 

[Michele]

That must be Murayev and the Lampre guy, Gavazzi.
