it makes sense, but where did you read that?

in report about him saying why he wants to leave katusha. I saw it on a dutch page


'Purito' heeft nog een contract tot en met 2013 bij het team, maar hij denkt eraan om zijn verbintenis af te kopen. Een gebrek aan waardering voor zijn prestaties en tactisch falen in de Vuelta hebben Rodriguez naar de uitgang geleid.

purito claiming "tactical" failure in his team. moreno the last days basically dropped ealry every stage and then rode his own tempo to stay 5th

....because he crashed a few days before and rode the last week with a cracked rib

And purito praised his team many times in the vuelta. After fuente de he said he would give each of them a hug.

It´s really amazing how this thread totally changed subject from Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013 to absolutely everything else than that.

And it´s equally amazing that after an admin noted this fact, nothing changed.
How about respect the threads intended subject and keep all the other stuff out or find a suitable thread where it fits into.

I think it'd be better if it wasn't a sticky.

the general news thread is usually a sticky all year round and the transfer thread during the transfer season. i think it makes sense as by putting this threads right in front of the posters nose it avoids people creating new threads about a specific transfer(news) just because they are to lazy to bump this from page 2.

It's a struggle to find relevant transfer information on last few pages :/

I've come across an interesting fact. We all know Rodriguez wants out of his contract with Katusha and if that happens most of Katusha's riders who have won races this year will either retire or go to a different team.

Oscar Freire: retiring unless he becomes WC.
Maxim Vantomme: moving to OPQS
Daniel Moreno: moving to Cofidis
Joaquim Rodriguez: likely to be leaving
Denis Galimzyanov: banned

Any news about Denis Menchov by the way? Is he retiring or will he ride another year? And is Alexander Kristoff still under contract for next year?

As far as I know Kristoff isn't going anywhere.

Menchov managed to secure Katyusha's promises to pick up Ardila and Kozontchuk for 2013 after Geox's collapse, so I'd be mighty disappointed if I'm either of those guys and Menchov then retires!

I wonder if that is still going to happen though

Plus Breschel and Kreuziger, and thats it? -If the rumors are true of course.

Without a doubt a much stronger team, but I´m not gonna faint.
But compared to other years, Riis did pretty good after all.

I'll take it. Quite exited about what Riis can squeeze out of those riders.

Don't forget Kump (why do I want him to be named Krump?) and Roche (plus I bet that he will pick up at least one more Dane).

AC - Captain
Paulinho, Tosatto - road captains
Roche, Kreuziger, Hernandez, CAS - mountain domestiques
Morkov + 1 (Noval :p) to get bottles

is not a bad team at all

Tossato is old i don't think he will be on the tour squad next year.

most likely it will be.

Contador
Roche
CAS
Hernandez
Paulinho
Pires
Nicky Sorensen
Morkov
Noval

3 powerful guys for the flat 2 top super doms and 3 very good doms. btw am i the only one that was mighty impressed with pires performance at the vuelta?

Kreuziguer, Majka and Bennati would then be free for the giro.

Pires showed really good form in Dauphine so I was not THAT suprised :p
Both Majka and Kreuziger to the giro you say? well perhaps :eek:

I think Majka will just want to be with Contador, not secondary role in giro.

And if they have Zaugg then thats a potential good Ardennes team, if The Great One is willing to go too.

i was actually thinking majka as co-leader at the giro and not as a domestique :eek:

If Riis can get Kreuzigers tt on track he is an top 5 contender, do not see Majka there yet, so I would guess he would fit better doing some work in the mountains for AC

Before making any speculation around the team i think we should wait and see if there's a TTT. I think that will play an important role.

And if Contador is 100% he doesn't need a good team. Seems simple but it's that easy lol
