Rumor has it Brajkovič wants out of Astana. Sky wants him but is not prepared to pay his high price, so the most likely is that he'll go back to Radioshack.

strange, last year he agreed with Bruyneel to leave, because of the arrival of the Schlecks

If he left only due to the arrival of the Schlecks then it's only logical that he's going back. The Schlecks probably won't race for a very long time...

If this site can be trusted Arroyo should be a done deal at SBTB and the Haedo brother have extended :(. And that Boaro (nice), Kroon, N. Sørensen, Paulinho (didint he already have a contract with the team for 2013?), Aaen, Tosatto, and Christensenalso prolonged.

It also says that Cav's pal Ferrari will go to Lampre and that Cobo stays with Movi

Nicki, Kroon and Paulinho already had contracts to the end of 2013, question is if they got prolonged further than that.

Hard to say if it can be more trusted than any other site, they also still have Kreuziger as a done deal for Saxo.

Maybe it was time he showed something for this high price.

Even HTC had guys like Siutsou, Rogers, Wiggins :)p), Monfort, Lofkvist, Kirchen, Pinotti, Velits, Lewis, van Garderen, etc... Is Argos still trying to make to the WT with this team? They have worse climbers than Greenedge :D

Weening, Clarke, Albasini, Gerrans and Meyer:confused:are ok.

Weening is on form once in a big while, Clarke as much as I can like him dont see him as a climber but more sort of one day race, Albasini is good when on form, Gerrans is a one day racer not a climber and Meyer doesnt seems to have shown yet what can of rider he is.

So neither on 2013 they will have any real climber, beside Albasini.

Ok, maybe it is a bit of a stretch but on breaks they are still stronger than most other breakaway riders on the climbs and they are all good on hills.
Meyer today admittedly was not up against great climbers in the break but he worked so hard to keep the break going and rode them off his wheel and stuck with the GC favourites group for a bit.

Manuele Boaro has extended his contract with Saxo Bank Tinkoff Bank for another 3 years.

"Manuele is a very exciting rider, and this year he has repeatedly shown that he is capable of excellent time trials. At the same time, I still believe that Manuele has great development potential, so I'm very pleased that we now have an agreement so that we can continue our work, "said team owner Bjarne Riis.

Good move but both parties. Very good tt, and we saw in the giro, that he can do the breakaways as well

good for both Boaro and Riis. And good to see that Riis actually manages to keep young talented riders on the team for once.

Oh, and 3 year contracts seem to be the new black in cycling

Oh and gotta love his comment about the Vuelta vs. the Tour:

And actually Riis thinks the Vuelta is a lot more exciting than the Tour de France.
"It's easier to stay awake in the car at least," says Bjarne Riis to sporten.tv2.dk and laughs.

Lol yes I remember reading people saw him sleeping in the car :D

He probably thinks beating Contador one time is enough to justify a high price. :rolleyes:

Oh you mean a Contador in a build up period completely out of form...:rolleyes:

Try put things in the right perspective.
