Is Guadini a type who can manage himself in sprints like fx McEwen or does he need a train? Imo to be a successful sprinter at SBTB u need to be able manage yourself more or less

He´s very capable of manage the sprints by himself. He´s biggest problem is his stamina but it´s just a matter of time before he get that.

Bjarne Riis is ready to prolong with the Polish talent Rafal Majka.
Bjarne Riis is very clear in his voice about the Polish talent Rafal Majka.
A contract extension is on it´s way, despite Majka has not fulfilled the potential of this season because of injuries. Bjarne Riis has seen enough, despite the problems faced by Rafal Majka had in the season.

"Absolutely. Unfortunately he has not gotten it out of this year, which he would have liked. But he is a boy who I absolutely believe in the future," said Bjarne Riis to ekstrabladet.dk and states: "I think there's much more to him. "
*
Rafal Majka will be an important helper for Alberto Contador in the Vuelta a España, which starts in August.

This Majka is an interesting rider. Shame we didn't see him at Giro and now has to work for Alberto.

I remember Contador told he was outclimbed in a training camp by Majka.

Yes he was, and by one of the Continental riders that were invited for the camp to. But it was in early february.

Actually, I don't really agree with this. His lack of stamina is indeed his biggest problem but second largest issue if definitely his positioning. He's not exactly known for positioning himself or fighting for his position very well.

Just take a look at this years Tour of Turkey this year. Or Giro for that matter where he even had a little better backup from his team.

Ofc he needs to be positioned, like most sprinters do, but from what I´ve seen he don´t need a train untill the 200 meters mark, and he surely won´t get that either if he joins Saxo. He´s young but have a punch and speed in those legs that I never seen such a young rider ever have.

In the TOF I don´t think he was at his best at all.
But never the less, he´s an exciting rider to follow in the future.

According to RAI Riis seems to be very close to sign Fugslang and Cancellara, while talking also to some other big names (not yet any comment on this).

Still can´t see how Canc should be able to sign a new contract he still have 1 year with RSN unless it closes down.
And I don´t believe JB to be the type of DS that would let Canc change in the middle of his contract, especially not to Riis.
But it would be awesome to see him back where he belongs.

Tbh I think if Riis signs Kreuziger, Fuglsang wont, and if he signs Spartacus, Matti wont. I dont think Spartacus will go to SBTB though.

Furthermore, despite the new co-sponsor Riis hasnt got a budget as Sky, RSNT and BMC. So I feel pretty sure he cant afford all of them

Yes I hear, but I also hear Becca and Co deny everything and claims that Fuglsang are asked for some documentation they haven´t recieved in order to pay his salary...

It could be bs, it could also be true, I wait for more believable info before I assume anything, untill then I consider Canc´s and other riders contracts to be valid. ;)

I don´t think Matti would mind at all ride with Fabs again, it´s not that Matti been in some wining stream lately to justify he should be sole captain in the classics but with a co leader role in sight Im sure he would have no problems riding with Fabs.

Fuglsang however is another matter, but to me it wouldn´t be the biggest loss if he signs elsewhere.
