Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

[Havetts]

Rabo wont make room, that would be throwing Mollema, Kruijswijk & Gesink, all youth products, away. Not going to happen.

 

[VeloCity]

Why is everyone around here assuming that the Schlecks would go to Astana? There are other teams that would make room for them.

How about?

Vacon?
Rabo?
Argos?
GreenEdge?
Ag2R?

or even Katusha, Garmin or Leakygas

after all Astana was involved with the Hog too ...

I would love to see the Schleck's (and Cancellara too, for that matter) move to Garmin.

OR should they go to two different teams, maybe. They are brothers, not siamesic twins.

 

[Lexman]

Sclecks to OPQS if they had problems with Bruyneel i guess they will have them with Lefevere as well, see end them at Greenedge or BMC...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

just thinking about a remote possibility for Frandy to end up in Astana makes me sick....

 

[LaFlorecita]

Shh, don't cry, don't worry, Vino wants real bike riders, not prima donnas on bikes

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

No no, you don't understand it, Vino's awesomness is better than Frandy's lameness. Vino will force them to do descend Monte Crostis on a TT bike everytime Frandy doesn't attack more than 5km from the finish on a MTF.

Unfortunately, for Astana it would be a good marketing ploy among the casual fans if they had the Shrek brothers... (puking)

stupid casual fans. Why canæt they just go away?

No ****. When someone mentioned Katusha as a team they could go to, I immediately thought of 2 pairs of bibs and 3 shirts I'd have to throw out

I'd love to see that ride

Just wait, very soon they will realize that Menchov is done and they already know Purito cant win GT ... therefore Schlechkovich bros are perfect fit for Katusha

 

[Bushman]

He'd get plenty of opportunities at Saxo. And he could learn a thing or two from Alberto.

Yeah, could be good for them both. Fuglsang could be the Captain in one of the stage races in the spring, ride as a lieutenant/captain in the ardennes, help contador in the tour and Maybe in the vuelta and then ride the worlds and Maybe lombardia.
And when Riis manages to unfold some of fulgsangs potential, he will be a great domestique for contador too

What makes it scary is the fact that it's plausible

lol this is pretty funny, before you know it Russians will be cheering for brothers шлекович

Personally I believe they will go to Champion System, Andy already had a meeting with Chinese investors a couple of months ago

Frank going to Astana would be fine with me, but not Andy.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

yea, but what is the point with yet another 10ish guy? Andy is atleast capable of winning a gt, wich i doubt Frank is and our ardennes team is really strong already

I hear ya! Hopefully they'll change the design if that happens, for your sake

 

[Fetisoff]

Well, I got last year's and one from two years ago. This year's too ugly to get. So unless they go back to last years' I should be OK (to everyone except those damn "casual cycling fans")

 

[Michele]

News from Radiocorsa;

-Liquigas signed a deal with Cannondale for 4 years as co-sponsor and they already signed a contract with big company as first sponsor (not italian, so not Geox?).
-Andy and Frank Schleck might stay in Radioshack if Bruyneel will leave due to the ongoing investigations in USA.
-Pozzovivo has several offers from top team and the main one seems to be from Ag2r.
-Cunego got a big offer from Europcar

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Mattia Gavazzi returns from his doping ban to Androni in 2013.

Sean de Bie (Ovyta) has an offer from Topsport Vlaanderen, but wants to wait for some WT offers.

Bryan Coquard and Morgan Lamoisson will turn pro with Europcar in 2013.

 

[jens_attacks]

Although i heard some rumors that Lampre is interested in Ferrari, so Gavazzi may replace him as top sprinter for Androni.

Very talented sprinter, his problem with coke was a real pity, i hope he was able to stop.

He has been in a rehabilitation center over the past 2 years or so and he started training on bike since last spring.
