That's the national team you've posted there, who are also sponsored by CCC, just like Itera sponsor both Katyusha and the Russian team, and Sky logos can also be found on Britain's national team kit.

This is CCC:

Vrecer and Tamouridis

I'm not sure anybody does, really, except maybe guys like Vrecer and Tamouridis who are finally getting a chance to ride at the WT level.

Vrecer and Tamouridis are have the greatest chemists of the Balkans.
Embarrassment for the team Euskaltel, will be complete.

This is so sad.

Euskaltel let go of Txurruka who's the epitome of the team and get in, no disrespect, some unknown Greek rider who represents the epitome of the UCI points system.

Something is very wrong. Fix it.

In ITT he beats the 90% of last years Euskaltel riders though. It's not just the points.

Is Rutkiewicz still banned from France?

Is Rutkiewicz still banned from France?

He won the Circuit des Ardennes this year, so I would assume no.

I still think that Vivelo bike looks like a tarnished Bianchi Oltre

[Nicosix]

No Rutkiewicz to Euskaltel!
He's staying with CCC

Instead, Euskatel took Africa Tour leader Tarik Chaoufi!!!

When is the last day for transfers that count towards the ranking? Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that it's today and if so that's great news for Euskaltel. I don't know about everyone else, but I had them being the team that were gonna miss out on the final selection of three teams from outside the top 15.

So three from maybe Argos, FDJ, Lotto and Saxo to make it. Interesting.

Thanks for the updates btw Nico.

 

[El Pistolero]

Pretty sad that crap teams like AG2R and Euskaltel can make it into the WT ahead of teams like Lotto-Belisol.

They never win and you almost never see them.

 

[Ferminal]

ALM's team for next season is much better than Lotto's "5 leaders 25 domestiques".

Don't argue with Pistrollero when something Belgian is involved. It's pointless.

and here we go again. belgian defender

still I will say this. ag2r is far better than lotto and especially next year. same with euskaltel. samuel sanchez > anything lotto has

 

[luckyboy]

FDJ will probably lose out. Sad.

 

[IlCobraFan]

Chaoufi, Mestre, Bravo, Vrecer, Tamouridis, Schulze, Lobato, Serebryako, Radochla, Aberasturi.

It succeded Euskaltel to buy riders for World Tour level that 99.6 % of all cycling fans have never heard of.

...

FDJ is safe -> they have license for 2013

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

FDJ will probably lose out. Sad.

that's not sad. although argos deserve it even less

 

[hoerpi]

FDJ is safe -> they have license for 2013

You still have to be in top 15 to be safe, Euskaltel was in this situation last year.

Saxo Bank 19 , that's not very good for Riis.

Pretty sad that crap teams like AG2R and Euskaltel can make it into the WT ahead of teams like Lotto-Belisol.

Don't worry, their still get a invite to the races they care about, the tour and a bunch of small crap sprinter races.

Nothing to defend, Lotto will still make it into the WT.

It's just that AG2R and Euskaltel are crap teams that shouldn't be WT.

Samuel Sanchez is the only decent rider Euskaltel has and will soon be 35 years old. And Igor Anton on occasion, but who knows with him. The only reason you're defending AG2R is because Betancur will be riding for them next year. In reality, AG2R has achieved nothing this season. NOTHING. Cold fact Ryo. Yet you spout your typical BS again. They had 4 wins this season and all of them were from small races. Yeah, really 'far better' than 3 Tour stages and a Giro stage.

Some people can look past nationalism. Sadly you can't look past the Colombians. I will say this to you: come with real arguments for once and not just your typical ad hominem arguments.

 

[Arnout]

What will Lotto miss out on if they get a wildcard for the Tour? That's the only race they focus on. They don't even have serious classics contenders.

 

[theyoungest]

And why should Lotto be WT? They have Greipel, and a GC rider who only shows up in the Tour.

edit: seems I'm not the only one who thinks this
