Transfers and Rumours 2011 > 2012

[Ryo Hazuki]

Valverde was about to join QS too

lol. that lefevre and his imagination

 

[Machu Picchu]

Nothing wrong with saying that your interested in a rider I guess plus on the Contador side they do have the Specialized connection now

Peter Sagan seems happy at Liquigas and has signed for another three years so as long as the team continue then he's unlikely to be going anywhere.

 

[nobilis]

Contador leaving Riis this year is as unlikely as Cav signing for Colombia Coldeportes.

 

[Another_Dutch_Guy]

Sagan would be a good fit at QST.

Not sure if he wants to be in the same team as Boonen.

Not sure if he wants to be in the same team as Boonen.

Sagan in my opinion is fast becoming one of very few riders who should be able to ask for undisputed leadership everytime he rides, and then also ask for particular signings to help him.
Others in this situation, Gilbert, Cancellara, Boonen, Contador, A Schleck, Evans, Cavendish, right now that is all IMHO. Others are close but need to refind their form, Menchov, Valverde, Basso.
Note Sagan is fast approaching, not there yet, though it wouldn't surprise me if he was after this year.

 

[kjetilraknerud]

Sagan should find himself a team with a classics mentor, or Liquigas should bring somone like that to the team. He is obviously physically very strong, but with a better tactical mind he would have had that big victory in his bag by now. I'd say someone like Hincapie would fit the bill, although George himself is probably out of the question.

george i have never won a classic hincapie is exactly who liqui should hire to teach their young gun how to win classics

 

[Forunculo]

If Bjarne fails to secure a WT status next year, Patrick Lefevere is the next in the list. Not surprise.

I'd say the number of wins isn't the key, but the years of experience. Hincapie, Klier, Hammond - guys who know their way around the classics. Cavendish would never have won Milan-San Remo without Hincapie showing the way.

then back to Astana would be a better fit for him than OPQS

 

[Forunculo]

Astana... no. He left the team and Astana was disgusted for this. And Astana is not a stable team like Lefevre's squad.

 

[LaFlorecita]

You forgot Specialized.

That isn't that important. Contracts can be broken.

OT: A gift for you

Eeeeeee!!!!!!! Alberto!!!!!!!!!

 

[LaFlorecita]

I don't understand. How is it possible to look that good?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Seeing him like this makes me sad. I'm glad he's smiling though. <3

he would have a awesome team in Astana too.


Contador, Kiserlovski, Kreuziger, Tiralongo, Navarro (he would probably join with Alberto), Maxim Iglisnky, Kasheckin (8kg lighter and in super shape <3 ), Gasparotto, Brajkovic

I like all but Kreuziger, Kasheckin and Brajkovic, they will flop

Rumors from Rai's Radiocorsa;

-Nibali is talking to many team like Astana (already mentioned), Katusha and also BMC, which would have him as the "after-Evans".
-Vacansoleil is talking to Pozzato and Petacchi
-Cunego has a french team interested in him and it seems to be Ag2r
-An italian company is ready to pay for Cancellara to do the hour record at the end of this season at Montichiari and it seems Cancellara is considering it
-Rebellin is said to be racing this summer with Miche as he couldn't find other options

 

[luckyboy]

interesting rumours, but..

-Vacansoleil is talking to Pozzato and Petacchi

why?!?!

 

[will10]

Pozzato will definitely be back at a WT team next season, he's got a nice hatful of WT points to negociate with.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Not sure I like the sound of any of those three transfers, would prefer Nibali & Cunego to stay in Italy, Pozzato to Riis I'd like to see though
