[luckyboy]

Any idea how many of the secret special ranking points Zubeldia has? 6th in Tour, 10th in Dauphine. Euskaltel might as well snap him up if he's got a decent amount.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Didn't those rumours start in the spring, when A&S wasn't invited to the Giro?

Yeah. But later he was also mentioned, something about Riis wanting to sign one of Basso, Garzelli and Di Luca.. but now Bruseghin seems to take that place.

 

[Raupi7]

Zubeldia said after the Tour when Nibali asked him to join him at Astana that he has one more year with radio Shack and plans to stay there.

 

[maltiv]

Gabriel Rasch for Team Sky is confirmed:

http://www.teamsky.com/article/0,27290,17553_8096426,00.html

I got confirmed that it's actually in EBH's contract that there has to be another Norwegian on the team

 

[ToreBear]

This makes sense.

Sky wants the routine Rasch brings with him. Hope there are no hard feelings regarding IAM. I don't think there are since my understanding is that Rasch knew them quite well.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Flip me, he finished 6th in the Tour

 

[ToreBear]

I got confirmed that it's actually in EBH's contract that there has to be another Norwegian on the team

From the article or from another source?

 

[Cimber]

I got confirmed that it's actually in EBH's contract that there has to be another Norwegian on the team

My god thats a weird thing to get into a contract. Its not even about a specific rider you a friends with but merely about nationality

 

[metaCYCLE]

Dutch newspaper reported that indeed vacansoleil is negotiating with Rujano and that rabobank is trying to acquire vanmarcke.

...then i expect a 2 year suspension for Jojo.

 

[Tyke1968]

Has the Lars Bak rumour (old one) have any legs now Cav is off to pastures new?

 

[Opalius]

http://www.sporten.dk/cykling/cancellara-tvunget-til-at-blive

Swiss newspaper Blick states that Cancellara wanted to get out of his contract (due to Schleck testing positive, and Bruyneel's association to Armstrong).

This was, however, not possible, and despite desperately trying (along with his lawyers) to get out, he did not succeed, and as such will have to continue another year.

 

[Opalius]

Sebastian Landers mentions that he has got a contract with a Pro tour team for 2013.

http://www.sporten.dk/cykling/dansk-mester-har-aftale-med-prof-hold

SBTB anyone? The article does mention that he has earlier been affiliated with Sky.

 

[jyhjyh]

Sebastian Landers mentions that he has got a contract with a Pro tour team for 2013.

SBTB anyone? The article does mention that he has earlier been affiliated with Sky.

IIRC Riis said that Lander should wait a year or so with a pro contract, just like SKY said.

But, maybe OPQS with Brian Holm?

 

[Netserk]

IIRC Riis said that Lander should wait a year or so with a pro contract, just like SKY said.

But, maybe OPQS with Brian Holm?

If so, I fear it will be just like Guldhammer at Columbia-High Road

 

[El Pistolero]

If so, I fear it will be just like Guldhammer at Columbia-High Road

QS said that to Sagan in 2009.

 

[Cimber]

QS said that to Sagan in 2009.

He would have been on QS

Anyways, Caleb Ewan linked with SBTB.

[Ryo Hazuki]

Dutch newspaper reported that indeed vacansoleil is negotiating with Rujano and that rabobank is trying to acquire vanmarcke.

would be great team for him. hanegraaf knows him from unibet a bit.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

So currently Larsson, Carrara, Denifl, Lagutin and Marczynski are either out or unknown for next season....
Whouldnt the existing Spanish connection with Flecha and Valls make sense to have someone like Velasco or Txurruka fit in the team..

Or are senior members the only ones who can speculate

:facepalm: those guys are basque, not spanish

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

imagine that team with rujano,ricco and mosquera...orgasmic vacansoleil

don't know what to say because i have no idea what it's inside rujanito's head...but i suspect that this giro really was an accident,probably one of those medical stories we'll never read about.i wish him good luck though.

it's been said a countless times. he had pfeiffer disease. that's why he still isn't back racing.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

ryo hazuki, what do you think?

squad filler

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Well, they didn't expect to lose Nordhaug so perhaps they are a little behind in looking for someone else for the ardennes.

they already have the colombians for the ardennes

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

A good team, I´m especially looking forward to see if Haussler and Lofkvist can find new motivation and raise their level back to where it once was.

lovkvists level never once was really good.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

they already have the colombians for the ardennes

Do Henao got the pucnh for FW or AGR?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I got confirmed that it's actually in EBH's contract that there has to be another Norwegian on the team

that has to be the most pathetic and racist/nationalist clause I've ever heard about
