Henao signed for SKY for 3 more years (2014-16)
other colombians arriving
he refused an offer from Garmin

HAha. Then I was right over Ryo about Colombians. Always a nice feeling

Well he's staying here longer than I thought!

Too bad, was hoping Henao would end up leaving. Well, hopefully with Wiggins looking past it and Uran leaving he will get more chances.

He's been a leader in every race for Sky so far except Tirreno and Giro.

He's been given lots of lead roles this year already, and will get more with Vuelta and Late classics..

Yep, I'm with you. Could have a good prospect for some week long stages races and may develop into a half decent climber.

He was solo leader just in Algarve(because he have a very high base level) and AGR,FW,LBL.In Pais Vasco he was co-leader with Porte.In Tirreno he was dom and in Giro he was sick.If he was healthy after Wiggo abandon probably he would be the team leader.Next year I think he will co-lead in Giro with Porte and will be again leader in Vuelta.

I think the deal came through his buddy Richie Porte

Totally agree greenedge.why dont they sign any decent australian climbers?i dont know?I guess its another year of stage wins only...(if any at all)becoming hard to support a team with aging riders and time trialists"

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Does Australia have any up and coming proper climbers to follow in the footsteps of Matty Lloyd?

 

[Ferminal]

Only the Evans clone Haig.

No Lloyd style climbers on the AIS team. Linfield maybe the best there and Howson is dieseling ok. I guess we will see during the Rundfahrt MTT if there's one this year.

 

[greenedge]

Adam Semple could be good in the future.
Ben Dyball too.

 

[PCutter]

Matthew Clark in the Drapac development team is the best real climber potential coming through. He finished 2nd to Earle at the top of Bunya in the Tour of Toowoomba in the s.t. despite contending with a 3 on 1 battle against Genesis. And a couple of MTB juniors that the road program are interested in

[roadbiker]

Was it ever confirmed whether or not Richie Porte signed a one or two year extension with Sky? I saw it described as a new two year contract but was that including 2013 as one of those years?

D. Benson from CN said two more years (=2014, 2015).
The precise amount of the extension was never given by Team Sky.

Just saw that here too: http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/1...d-with-chance-to-race-at-WorldTour-level.aspx

I'm so glad for him. Been reading his blog from ever since; it's almost as if I've followed his career for the last couple of years. He must be so psyched indeed!!!!

Wow, I thought O'Grady had already retired.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Wow, I thought O'Grady had already retired.

well, this is called paid retirement. Even better.

Aghhh, so sad, nope. That whole generation needs to retire.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Some re-signing news today:

Ryder Hesjedal has renewed with Garmin for two years.

Andre Greipel and Marcel Sieberg have also extended for two more years at Lotto.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Chris Horner hopes to ride again this year in order to re-sign with Trek for 2014.

“I very much like the team here. Of course we are going to have some sponsorship changes and stuff like that, but hopefully the team continues,”
