Wielerflits the CN of Dutch cycling websites?

 

[Michielveedeebee]

So I really have never heard of Lodewyck. Guess im not that knowledgeable. So BMC took him for Gilbert only. Looking at his results I think he can be a domestique for the hilly classics and he is so young. So I hope he develops his talent.

He's fast at the finish as well

If i can recall, i heard that Radioshack are interested in him.

I thought he'd go to Garmin, heared it during Tour of Belgium on Sporza. Not sure though....

Wielerflits is a dutch cycling website ran by cycling fans I think. I don't think they pay people and if they do it will probably be just some money for their efforts.

I'm not 100% sure though!

They are doing quite a decent job though .

I've heard of their reputation elsewhere. If they are a proper news source their not doing a good job of it. I was joking anyway, it was only a stab at CN

So Roman Kireyev (Astana) has retired at the age of 24. Turns out his back is the problem.

That's a "you're fired" retirement if ever I saw one.

 

[hatcher]

Yeah nothing suspicious about that.

I was mentioning this yesterday, not sure if it's a 'have an early holiday and come back next year' in order to make room for Vino/Kash, I hope so cause otherwise it's a real shame for Kireyev

Somehow Astana seems to me a team that would say "retire or we'll make you test positive."

Katusha as well imo..

Better than the old days retire may have a whole different meaning

 

[MartinGT]

Dont really want to start a new thread, but I think this is the right place.

When will Cav announce him joining Sky? Worst kept secret in cycling!

 

[Fetisoff]

Yeah.... Team Eastern Germany also strikes me as one of those, you know

htc riders have to wait til sept 1st

 

[MartinGT]

Why is that? I thought they changed the date to the 1st of August?

It's a condition imposed by Bob Stapelton and HTC management, don't know why, just is

Ah righto. Interesting.

 

[El Pistolero]

Ah righto. Interesting.

Cause even when they're about to quit, they like to make cyclin boring.

Suppose it could be an attempt to hold the team together and stop them being distracted at the end of the season? But if so, 1 September doesn't seem to fit. And surely Renshaw and a few of the others have announced where they're going? All seems a bit strange.

 

[luckyboy]

But Renshaw, Velits 1+2, Gretsch, Rasmussen, Ghyselinck and Degenkolb are already confirmed to be going to their new teams

Also, isn't Keukeleire free from Cofidis this year? I remember him rejecting a contract last season.

Bull, just look at OPL, they're doing just fine.

 

[MartinGT]

The talks will of happend weeks and weeks ago.

IMO Its Cav being Cav. The thing is, EVERYONE knows its Sky so stop messing about. Unless of course Sky have told him to keep quiet.

Or unless he leading Sky on till after the world championship to get full support and hes actually joining Greenedge.

That would make me laugh.

I would have to start cheering for him if he did that. It would be priceless.
