That'd be odd, considering both Hermans and Rast left Shack for Leopard!!

Yeah He was talking about a fusion between two teams, not mentioning which (I think he didn't know). Later he said trek didn't want to continue sponsoring Radioshack. And then he said someone on Twitter said there are rumours about a RShack LT merger. Nelissen mentioned it would make sense because trek is already sponsoring LT so they dont need to sponsor both.

every story comes to and end. if this is true, Trek leaving bruyneel is the last thing i'd have thought.

or maybe Levi is winning too much, and it's bad for the marketing

but i dont think it could be possible. Jani would not work for the schlecks and at least kloeden and levi (and Horner above all) would have to change team

Funny, on Sporza they were also talking about it, but in a joking manner

Does anyone know if CA Sörensen still has a contract? And I think Paulinho's contract with Radioshack has ended. Has he already signed somewhere?

cas will very likely stay with saxo. very interesting bit about paulinho i dunno when his contract ends tbh but wouldn't surprise me to see him at saxo next year if it really does expire this season.

OK thanks.

Anyone know how long is the contract of Nico Sijmens in Cofidis? Think that Taaramae is very angry with him...

 

[luckyboy]

Huh? What happened?

Was Sijmens the one who attacked when Taaramae stopped after his attack? (Taaramae looked like he had a flat?)

 

[LaFleur]

Huh? What happened?

Well he didn't mention his name, but I odded him out because:
1) Vogondy and Edet are out
2) Fouchard was in the break
3) Moncoutie is not even the possibility
4) He seems to be pretty good mates with Mate and Saramotins and actually said good things about 'em today
5) Bagot seems to be a stagiaire and don't think that there's a problem with him.

Anyway, Taaramäe was watching Moncoutie for the whole race and notice that he had been with only one bottle for quite some time. So he told in the radio that somebody get some bottles. Then the radio told the rest of the guys 4 times with 2 minute intervals to go to the back of the bunch and raise a hand. Then nobody went and Taaramäe said (not nicely) for someone to go to the back. Then Sijmens (most probably) went on Taaramae and said "no, it's too heavy/hard(the word in Estonian could mean both of them, so I don't know exactly). Then Taaramäe went and got the bottles for the whole team himself.

By the way, after the Sierra Nevada stage, he said that he expected very much of more of Sijmens, because he has the age and the experience. And the team wanted to make him the captain, but after a few days it was clear that he can't be one..

E: To Nielsa. Taaramäe looked behind a few kms before doing his final turn and they all were there. So he did the turn for about 2km and gave everything he had. He was sure that they all were there and told Moncoutie to go. But he looked behind and nobody was there. So the TV pretty much showed the exact situation

I bet those two will be back in RS soon enough.
