Transfers and Rumours 2012 > 2013

[Ryo Hazuki]

I know an American who was a really good domestique for Alberto a few years ago in the Vuelta... and he's currently without a team.

thank god he won't find a team for next year

 

[Christian]

Riding for Saxo while ds Astana next years tour, 17 helpers for AC lol

Plus Samu Sanchez an his Euskabunch makes 26

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think he means the guy who was really good friends with Berto in san Luis, and not, you know

I know I know Little levi

Dani Navarro

I don't think Saxo is looking for another domestique for Aberto. They need somebody to help them score sporting points for the UCI rating

So apparently Saxo-Tinkoff have signed another prominent rider, but are yet to reveal the name:

(the above link is in Danish btw)

Any suggestions as to who that might be?

Super domestique I read

 

[JRanton]

Mick Rogers...

 

[Dedelou]

?



Super domestique I read

Oh yeah.. super domestique it should be. one that can be in front long enough on the climbs to really be helpful. Enough of those helpers who are two minutes down the slope shouting: " I am here for you Alberto.. wait wait"

Could be Linus Gerdemann.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Could be Linus Gerdemann.

Oh crap. That would be the ultimate disappointment

 

[RHRH19861986]

Oh crap. That would be the ultimate disappointment

No, you would be surprised. He was super when he joined Riis from May 2005, and now could be like Jalabert: join Riis at one point in the career when it´s not going too well any more, and Riis can improve you again to your old level. He did that with several riders, Jalabert, Jaksche, ... . Linus will be quite cheap now what salary is concerned, could be great for both sides, Gerdemann and Saxo.

 

[janraaskalt]

The transfer of Bruseghin to Saxo is still open, right?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

What'll Levi be up to? Can't wait to relive the 2008 Vuelta...

 

[jens_attacks]

levi will surely go at caja rural or something...will find something
or why not, go and race in south america and make ryo lose his mind?

the only reason riis achieved that was by blooddoping his riders, same with gerdemann when he became pro there. he hasn't improved a single rider(much) since 2006.

 

[Netserk]

It wont be Garzelli nor Il Killer
It will be a rider that comes from a worldtour team...

 

[Gloin22]

Gerdemann seems even more likely than.

 

[Parrulo]

just to warn everyone, particularly Ryo, that further doping talk will be punished with a ban.

 

[Netserk]

+1

I think he will be the last one. Though I would have loved if it was Il Killer

 

[Afrank]

I'm thinking it will be Linus or Levi. Whatever team Levi goes to it will probably be one that can get into Cali, Saxo would fulfill that. But he probably costs more than Linus, so he might be too expensive for Saxo. To bad we don't know how much money Saxo has left. That could gives us some clues as to who it is.

Rogers had a contract until 2013 with SKY?

or just for 2011 and 2012?

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Rogers had a contract until 2013 with SKY?

so maybe they let him go, instead of sacking him

probably that doping thingy they got

 

[pastronef]

probably that doping thingy they got

my bad. here I see it is for 2 years: 2011 and 2012
