Transfers and Rumours 2013 > 2014

[Ryo Hazuki]

Unlike Horner, Costa has actually had some clinic-related problems in the past...

ssssst.... don't point to all the hypocricy at this foroum regarding clinical material

 

[Netserk]

there's is nothing wondering about quintana training like a madman at home at 3000+ metres and then coming back to europe in extreme form. training hard on such altitude(which happens to be your home all your life) is better than having a gt in your legs.

Lol yeah. Just ask Rasmussen

 

[Butterhead]

I don't know, but Quintana disappearing in Colombia for 3 months and smashing at the Tour, or Nibali winning the Giro with one leg are also some kind of wonder.
no?

It sure is, but I was only commenting on the new wonderboy.
Well, we know whats going on, problem is its just the wrong thread to discuss it ------> Clinic....

Lool common....really.

you have no idea what you are talking about with regards to quintana and I do. if you even knew who saldariaga was and how he is you'd know how stupid you sound

 

[BigMac]

I must say I really enjoyed this months of forum talk on pro road racing.

Thanks all.



Glad Costa only signed a 1 year deal.

Worst news.

@RuiCostaCyclist @lampre_merida Thanks Rui! See you in Mallorca.

You're not supposed to talk to him Rui.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Such great news to see Horner sign a deal. I can't wait to see him dancing on the pedals again riding away from guys half his age.

So, Christina Watches isn't playing around.

They signed Fortunato Baliani, Mattia Gavazzi and Enrico Rossi. The first one a good old climber and attacker, the other two sprinters. Ýou know them of course

And three guys who are clean as hell!

Yeah, maybe with this, and their new italian main sponsor ( KUMA)They are trying to prepare themselves for the giro next year. Allready this year they talked about becoming pro continetal. And if they could sell it like they almost are a italian team, and bring in a italian "star", they could perhaps get a wildcard in next years giro.

God I hope not. There gonna have to bring in some much higher profile riders before they'll have a shot at a wildcard IMO. At this point can't see them beating out other pro conti teams like IAM, Bardiani, Androni, Neri, MTN, and Colombia without bringing in some stronger guys.

Yes, I agree of course, they would need to bring stronger guys , and that would be natural if they became pro continental. But it's not that I say it will happen for sure.Just if you look at what the team have been saying, it could look like they are going that way. But then again, it's not certain at all, that you can rely on what Hembo and co. tells the media.

Kuma is a Danish company. They might be operating in Italy however.

don't ever talk about christina watches in an upwards note. the saddest excuse of a marketing bs team there is in cycling. they have no money either

For once I agree with you

Okay, I read it was italian, but I can see it have been changed now in the article, so you must be right.

Ahah so true. What amazes me is that they keep getting sponsors even in this crisis.

 

[Hugo87]

Do you guys know if Vladimir Karpets already retired or is he still looking for a team?

BMC to become the new grandpa team then

Looks like they're hoping for the "Papy Horner Effect".
They could've gone for the original at least.
