Team Saxo Bank with a new bank co-sponsor?

[brilleaben]

So Saxo Bank steps up as sole sponsor and has increased their budget.

Yes, here: http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/live-tv/

Thanks!

 

[Ferminal]

What a shock.

 

[Netserk]

Is it already over?

 

[fraserhughes]

Yes, here: http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/live-tv/

Thanks. Busy isn't it

 

[Nilsson]

Is it already over?

No, it's Spain.

Starting now. Fifteen minutes of delay isn't that bad.

 

[brilleaben]

I already miss Tinkov.

[The Hitch]

What is this supposed to show?

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

Any new signings? Any other news?

 

[jens_attacks]

wow saxo signs rujano and decides that he will be the leader for le tour!
























bored...

 

[The Hitch]

On Samu.

Riis: "there have been no negotiations with Samuel Sanchez from our side. I appreciate him as a rider and he is a great rider, but at the moment there is no issue".

This seems to just be a stunt to show that this is still 100% team Contador with others. Contador is even answering the team questions

Some sort of friendliness between the two, little more than a week ago.

Stop trolling and the the accusations will stop.

1. According to who? You?
2. According to who? Staghøj? the same guy that has Ty Hamilton on the payroll and is a National joke for his lack of accuracy in search of clicks?
3. According to who? four riders have mentioned having not contract, and you actually think Staghøj asked only four? Last year Majka had no publicly announced contract at around this time, and yet it transpired that he had already signed in january.

Sporten.dk has no real story. The BG is filed, Main riders in place, 8 riders (if needed) can be had for €300,000.

end, sans EnacheV style dig at the end.

Yeah, of course the article from BT was just full of ****. Staghøj doesn't really have many clues about cycling

OMG, how do they hire these translators. The question is " this has been your worst season since 2005, you have not won anything" and she says "since 2005 you have not won anything"

 

[LaFlorecita]

The press conference is held in Madrid because Contador and Riis are on tour with Saxo Bank, and they happen to be in Madrid on Thursday (Monza Monday, Zürich Tuesday, Paris Wednesday and London Friday)

Lmao that is just way too funny

 

[The Hitch]

Riis's answer to the question "what to do about Sky" does not breed confidence.

" We saw this year Wiggins preperation wasn't as good, so maybe the same thing will happen with Froome". Yeah, keep thinking that

 

[Netserk]

How on earth was 2006 better than 2013?

Interpreter, not translator.

And the simple answer is that both interpreters and translators are criminally underrated, so many people don't bother hiring actual professionals.

Agreed. To be fair, mistakes with translating 'since' from Spanish (with its desde etc. constructions) are easily made in the process.

Technology briefly restored in time to hear Contador say he thinks he can win both Tour and Vuelta.

Not making basic errors in one of the languages, should be a requirement. She said a few minutes ago " I didn't knew what has been said", not realizing the past participle only needs to be once in this case.

I think hrotha knows better than anyone (here) what it takes to translate Spanish
