Exactly. It looks like Leopard are in for him. And I remember almost all rumours about Leopard last year were true in the end..

Ah I see. From what was said the other day it seemed he was going there.

Looks like they're interested in Martin, too.

Of course, EVERYONE'S interested in Martin.

Heard Skil-Shimano is ready to battle Russian football (soccer) club Anzhi Makhachkala (based in Chechnya) for the services of Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto.

Makhachkala is in Dagestan .

lol your a joke. Have you seen his turn of speed.
I am sure many WT would find him useful. Rabo have a quite a spread in ambitions tho, so maybe not the best place for him.
But I am sure a team like quickstep for example this year who have done little to nothing could have used a quick guy like Bos--Give him a train (which would bring more results in no doubt, because he has a great turn of speed).

QS doesn't need another sprinter who can't win. They have enough of those already.

Alex Rasmussen confirmed for Garmin next year.

Old news! Close to a week ago since that was made public around here.

The reason he gave was that it was (partly) because of Johnny Weltz. Apparently he liked the idea of not being the only Dane. And so did Johnny.

well considering he would basically double the Q/step win tally for this year he probably wouldn't be an unwelcome rider

 

[Jancouver]

It was reported yesterday that former top sprinter Djamolidine Abdoujaparov would join the team (Astana) in an advisory role.

How cool is that

Yeah, it was reported on this forum too (in this thread actually, I believe) with a picture of Abdou, long hair, and looking somewhat fat-ish

I don't think QS is in any problems right now

I hear Deignan will be leaving Radioshack, they have dropped him from the vuelta line-up as well, seeing that he is leaving..

He'll prob find it v difficult to get a contract this year as he hasn't had any results of note..

Thats crap - Greenedge maybe cheap buy - solid enough rider

according to @velocentric Cav's going to cervelo

Would be a bit of a shocker. Judging from his tweets, Gerard Vroomen seems to love him so who knows...

 

[euanli]

Vroomen might love him, but Cervelo is not a title sponsor next season. I can't imagine Farrar and Cav being at the same team, especially with some other riders being there.

 

[Anonymous]

according to @velocentric Cav's going to cervelo

so because one person said it on twitter its a rumour?

 

[spalco]

Yeah, it would be a huge slap in Farrar's face. Unless he's leaving too?...

So what's with the link to a story about Muravyev returning to Astana?

There's one sentence down at the bottom!

Hopefully so. He's talented and had a great 2009. But was sick for all of 2010 and then this year things haven't gone well for him. He was initially supposed to be riding the Giro for his own result, but instead found himself dragging a badly out of form Machado up the side of mountains.

Not happening. No way.

Yeah for sure, and even towards the end of the Giro he looked like has hitting form and climbing better, he did well in the stage Nieve won and in the final time trial. I hope he can do something in the tour of Utah so that he can find a team, though i fear he ll have to work for Leipheimer.

 

[Astana1]

Cav to Garmin? I guess this is why they call it silly season.

 

[LugHugger]

Of course he wouldn't have won, Thor had been in his wheel all the time. But we've discussed this over and over again after PR so no point in starting this discussion again


and what Thor lacks in PR, he makes up in the Tour, he's always great there

That's fair enough. I'm always up for a PR discussion though. It's the highlight of the year for me.
