He'll stay with Miche?
Would like to see him again with Savio at Androni.

Is this the case, because that would be news. Only AG2R riders listed as without contract are Yuriy Krivtsov and Julien Loubet.
Alternatively it could just be an AG2R rider training with them, same as the random behind him is.
[edit] actually it looks like it could be Montaguti in that pic.

nobilis said:it should be one of the italians on Ag2R. It should be Montaguti because he doesn't look like Nocentini and Belletti has just joined the team so he doesn't have the kit yet.
craig1985 said:Same with the majority of the American riders. Chris Horner crashes out of the TDF is on the next plane back to America as soon as he is fit. I know he has a young family, why not just race for a US Pro Continental team instead?
craig1985 said:I don't understand how you crash and you have to fly straight back to America to recover. It's not Sudan that he's in.
Enough rambling, because in the spirit of this thread, Bert Scheirlinckx and Olivier Pardini have received a late Christmas present by getting a ride at Geofco-Ville d'Alger for next year (Phil's younger bro rides for this team, good for publicity I guess).
