Team Saxo 2010 v 2011

[singlecog]

After looking at the difference between what Saxo did in 2010 not only giving andy a great platform for TDF GC assault but allowed Sparticus and Frank to ride the races they wanted and Andy wasnt the team leader in every race.

This year using Porte as good example, after 7th in last years Giro was touted as a future star, but is being used as a super-domestique for the slightly weaker saxo who are now without o'grady and voight. It seems they are dropping everyone else's ambitions for the season to win for Contador who may have the titles stripped anyway......

Well Sparticus has won a few races, but I'm guessing not the ones he really wanted to win and Saxo retained Flanders. As for Frank he's won the Critérium International(plus a stage) and I'm guessing he'll win one of the Schleck national champs, so that will almost equal his win total for last year.

I don't think the team is as strong this year but will it matter with a short team time trial ? Contador will have to win the race in the mountains anyway. I did not think they had a strong team in the Giro but it made little difference.
