cameron wurf to champion system

Was about to post that - nice to hear.

Anyone think Champion systems might get a ride in the tour of BOREDOM ?

Greg has signed with BMC through to 2014. Just wondering your thoughts considering his and Phil Gilbert's relationships.

That he needs to stop complaining in the press then and do his job
Didn't know he resigned tbh.

 

[Benotti69]

Has anyone seen confirmation about Danilo Di Luca signing for Acqua&Sapone, as he was spotted training on his own today in his 2011 Katusha kit and bike.

A&S website mentions nothing but i doubt it has been updated for a while.

Bit late, we've already had three stages

But I think they will be at Beijing for sure.

Lol I didn't get it at first.

And yet, despite not being there, Champion Systems have already won a stage (unlike GreenEdge)

As if you did not find stage 2 intresting.
Also Wilunga has massive potential this year. The sprinting field is also of more depth than when Greipel won in 2008/ 2010.


Clarke should get a spot in GE over Bewely ( to replace McEwan )

 

[filipo]

Sky roster shocker!

Apparently Danny Pate and Kanstantin Svitsiov are not riding for Sky this year. You read it on cyclingnews.com first!

The Austrian (Bernie Eisel) was the only HTC teammate to transfer to Team Sky with Cavendish for the 2012 season.

"Danny Pate is one of four riders to have been signed from HTC-Highroad this season and is widely considered as one of the hardest-working riders in the peloton. "

i wouldn't rely on many of the online sites for accurate news

You clearly missed the sarcasm completely

nope i was merely rubbing it in to CN's accuracy of reporting

I just got around to watching Stage 3 TDU and I'm puzzled...hope that someone can help me with this.
When RaboBank acquired Mark Renshaw, I thought that indicated a plan to contend in sprint finishes. Stage 3 didn't show any sign of a lead out formation by Rabobank. Any ideas on how this might develop as the season progresses? Who do you see RB using to form a lead out?

Matthews and Renshaw could probably do something I guess, but is there really anyone else in the team? (havent really paid to much attention to the sprint team in Rabo the last couple of years)

 

[luckyboy]

Maybe Renshaw can do some leadouts for Bos

 

[Quixote]

Maybe Renshaw can do some leadouts for Bos

Well, I'm wondering about the other way around. Theo would certainly be a force in a lead out train. But, again, I'm just interested...Rabobank must have had a plan.

 

[gerundium]

I think Rabobank intends to have Renshaw as the main man. I don't really know how that is going to work out though.

Dont think Theo will be a good lead out his positioning aint good

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Rabobank keeps saying on their site they want to built a sprint train and have acquired Renshaw because he is experienced in setting up a sprint train, but also to compete for himself.

Well something along those lines at least.

Unfortunately they are failing so far... ah well, it's only the first race of the season, they've got plenty of time to work this out I reckon.

Boom could do Hincapies'/ Martins' work. I'm sure they will work it out. Also on stage 3 Matthews lost Renshaws' wheel.

And he did finish 2nd yesterday.

http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/road/news/34459/Brown could be the lead-out man for Renshaw

 

[theyoungest]

Rabo extend with Gesink and Mollema (surprise, surprise).
