[LaFlorecita]

No he is back at Katusha.

 

[Fetisoff]

Nah, it is Katusha.

[dlwssonic]

Pretty sad he had to miss out for quite some time. Hope to see him doing well in the ardennes.

Recent crash, broken ribs, surgery... Don't think he'll be able to gain form quick enough

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

any news about rebellin?did he find a team after all?

no news but Sporza reports that he joined Gilbert for a training ride on Wednesday on a 14km climb. Near Monaco, I guess.

 

[jens_attacks]

well they usually train together in monaco,they are good friends.
rebellin won't join bmc though

Yeah but the fact that he's even training at all is a good sign. Let's face it, he should have signed with a team many months ago. It's damn near April already.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

he has always trained. also when suspended. he has lived like a pro and will continue to do so. that's simply how he is but I'm afraid we will not se ehim back as no team wants him

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

Anyone heard anything about Pellizotti's current status with Lampre? They were waiting for RCS' permission to let him take part in the Giro but I haven't heard anything since...

 

[greenedge]

Does anyone know when Oss' contract runs out??? I could envisage a few teams wanting to sign him/ he might want to leave considering Liquigas already have Sagan/ Viviani and will probably need to fork out quite a bit of money to keep Sagan.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

basso will leave though so they can kepe them all I guess

Kreuzizger, Sagan & CONTADOR to QuickStep!

Interview with Lefevere for Czech news site. The translate is not perfect but he is basically saying that if Contador is available, he will be interested.

Contador maybe makes sense, but Kreuziger would be a ****ing idiot to go there if Contador's there too, and Sagan would even more stupid.

Every year Lefevre puts out a list of massive stars that are apparently just about to sign for Quick Step. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[El Pistolero]

Yeah, he might actually get lot's of experience and good team support

Tony Martin not big enough for you?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I'm just saying, I'm not putting any stock in what Lefevre is saying four months before transfer season begins as anything other than speculation until there's more convincing evidence that this is going to go ahead.

 

[Arnout]

Exactly, three years ago Contador was joining Quickstep as well.

 

[nobilis]

Valverde was about to join QS too

 

[trevim]

Exactly, three years ago Contador was joining Quickstep as well.

Ahah I remember that one. He would get amazing support on the mountains from Seeldrayers

All he's saying is that he's interested...

 

[luckyboy]

Sagan would be a good fit at QST.

 

[karlboss]

All he's saying is that he's interested...

From memory that's all he ever does. Seems reasonable to say, get yourself in the news and it doesn't cost you a cent. If I was a manager and a big rider came onto the market I'd be interested and hence say I was interested if asked. I could even be "in negotiations".
Alberto we'll give you 100,000 to ride for Quikstep
ummmm no.
Well we negotiated, but couldn't come to an agreement.
