Dazed and Confused said:Plenty of riders will be looking for a pro contract. Perhaps many will avoid the team, but others will line up. Remember many riders also have pretty messy CVs.

Klöden to IAM?
Vandewalle goes to Trek (?)

Christian said:Thanks for the info. Wow, Trek will really be a completely different team next year. I am amazed that they don't want Monfort anymore, but it's probably the right step for him anyways and Lotto-Belisol sounds like a good fit. Klöden to IAM - doesn't that violate MPCC rules, or are IAM not a member, or was Klöden absolved of everything? Also sounds like a good fit, Klöden already lives in Switzerland anyways and can make big Franks there.
That's nonsense, Bos wins at least 5 races a year, most of them with Brown as a leadout. Apparently Brown manages to do something right.Pharazon said:yet that's one of the main reasons why Bos has failed for years
Arredondo said:Monfort is a very good rider, so on the first sight it is suprising that he must leave. Trek however want to fully focus on creating a team around Cancellara for the classics, so some riders must leave the team (Monfort, Klöden, Horner (?)) to make space for that. With guys like Sergent, Nizzolo, Jungels, they have some strong quality for the future to.
It will be a good squad though, with a strong classics team and some young guys who can climb, sprint and tt
Nizzolo has signed a two-year deal with the team after moving to RadioShack-Nissan from Leopard-Trek last year. The 23-year-old Italian will remain with the team until at least 2014.

No surprises here: there were lots of bad blood inside that team during and before the race mainly because there wasn't a true leader. Duran, Sousa, Broco and Ribeiro were doing the race for themselves.Fundertaker said:After the end of the Volta, Rui Sousa had a reunion with his DS and he won't be continuing in Efapel for next year. Cesar Fonte won't continue on the team as well.
