[eleven]

hermans signed a two year deal with leopard, so i doubt it.

That's... still just a rumour right?

Also, probably no big surprise but Baden Cooke to GreenEdge:

Bit old though...

Froome to BMC rumour in 5... 4...

Ha, a guy named Kittel just ambushed him just after his TT and forced his signature.
Froom to Skil-Shimano in 3...2...

Team Sky had a rider called Froome
Who they threatened with the broom
He went to the Vuelta
To work for his leader
but rode like the wind
to put everyone behind.
A new contract did he earn
as of his skill we did learn.

 

[Armanius]

What are the chances that Levi goes to Garmin next year (instead of Omega)? All those nice things that he said about Garmin after his win at USAPCC. He seemed to praise Garmin more than RS. Also recall seeing a tweet from him riding on the Leopard-Trek team bus with the LT boys. So perhaps LT is another option?

How do you guys pronounce "Vuelta"?

 

[LukeSchmid]

How do you guys pronounce "Vuelta"?

I know, I just could not think of anything better quickly.

 

[hrotha]

I suggest something with "swelter." In an appropriately British accent, of course.

That will happen as soon as monkeys fly out of Vaughters' buttt. Leipheimer on Garmin would completely destroy Gamin's credibility. The team might as well hire Ricardo Ricco.

That would have been good.

For Wiggans he was to swelter.

You might be able to do more with "Belter". I don't know whether its use is common across all English speaking countries but in the UK it's...

belter [ˈbɛltə]
n Slang
1. an event, person, quality, etc., that is admirable, outstanding, or thrilling, e.g. A real belter of a match

I didn't know that word. It would work, too, although "swelter" has the advantage of having the same /w/ as "Vuelta" (although maybe you guys pronounce the u and the e in different syllables?)

He said that he want's to spend some more time with his family as daughter is starting school next year. IMO a team like UHC or TT1 would be ideal for him, he gets to race predominately in the States, but they do plenty of racing overseas, and races that he would have experience in, and he can also do the ATOC. Or even Spidertech would be a good move for him. At the start of the year he can do races in Europe, Asia, and South America, and still spend plenty of time at home.

 

[Machu Picchu]

I thought that Menchov had signed for two years? anything else happening with Katusha? are they likely to have any other new signings or will they be bringing up some young russian talent?_?

In: Vicioso (And), Florencio (Geo), Kristoff (Bmc), Menchov (???)

Out: Silin (Ast), Vandenbergh (OPQST), Pozzato (???), Kolobnev (Suspended)

I think they have signed a couple of riders from their continental team. Have to check the news though.

Edit: Novikov and Eskov

Would be a shame I think, I liked him at Lampre and the double threat he played with Cunego.

Ah two Nikita's, and I see that Novikov had some success at the Giro della Valle d´Aosta a couple of days ago! (thank you google )

I also see rumours regarding Chicchi and Keukeleire?_?
