Cornu signed? Interesting, that's another spot taken.

What are these rumours of Sulzberge and Meyer coming based on? Both woulld be good addition, Meyer is a future star of Aussie cycling.

It just means that CQ doesn't know if they've confirmed their 2011 plans, not that there have been any rumours as such.

Meyer has already said he's got a contract with Garmin for 2011, will be considering options for 2012 (from a CN report).

There's been no information at all on Wes from what I've seen, he might be out of contract but you would think FdJ would want him.

Interestingly enough, there is not one word about Michael Rasmussen and Saxo Bank on any of the Danish sites. And they cover both the rider and the team very closely.

Does anyone know what happened to the contract of very talented classics rider Sonny Colbrelli ?

Does anyone know what happened to the contract of very talented classics rider Sonny Colbrelli ?

He will stay another year with Zalf Désirée.

In 2012 he will turn pro at Colnago-CSF together with Enrico Battaglin

Scroll down with add-on !

 

[MADRAZO]

He will stay another year with Zalf Désirée.

In 2012 he will turn pro at Colnago-CSF together with Enrico Battaglin

Thanks Jakob

Too bad had looked forward to see both as pros next year, but I guess they're both young enough to take 1 more year amongst the amateurs without stagnating too much. In my opinion they were both ready to go pro now though.

Anyways Zalf will certainly be very dominating next season with those two and also the extremely talented climber Francesco Manuel Bongiorno joining them. Hopefully they could do some international races as well as the italian. Bongiorno hopes to do L'Avenir I know.

Riis still considers taking on Rasmussen!

"I have to think about the (various) reactions, hiring Michael Rasusmussen on the team, will prompt"

Well, it means he won't be a DS and won't be behind the wheel of a car at all. It's more of a coaching position where he helps riders with training and preparation etc.

Great news indeed- He's a very likable guy with an impeccable reputation. I always thought his potential wasn't used properly during his collaboration with Saxo & Riis- but with Sky he'll have a golden opportunity to use his skills in the benefit of the uprising riders in the team.

julich an impeccable reputation?? You have to be kidding me right, one of the most doped riders of the past 15 years.

Riis could possibly be a bigger flipper flopper than wigans.
