Need to re sign Rodgers and maybe two more mountain super doms ...

How's about Kiserlovski or Trofimov or Sanchez or Frank or Caruso

Mountain super doms are not everthing. As we saw this Tour and have seen many times before, you not thos elephants on the flat. Benna was great this year but Tossatto is not getting any younger... and thats a shame because i seem to need a coupple more years learning how to spell his name.

It's rather intresting that seemingly many teams are still making full 28/29 riders teams, only seen so far Levefre who said his team will go down slightly this year to make sure they will gradually get to the 22 riders limit that will start in 2017.

Don't see why there has to be this 22 man team limit
As it is there are not enough riders to cover all races and riders get injured or sick (ask SKY) .....so many riders will also be out of a job...

in the future there will eb a lot less races and less riders participating. that's why. stupid decisions of course but I don't think it will ever materialize either.

Matti Breschel extends 1 year with Tinkoff-Saxo

'Tinkoff-Saxo happily announces that Matti Breschel will stay with the team in 2015. The Tinkoff-Saxo has signed a one-year deal with the Danish rider securing his great talent for yet another year. Matti is equally pleased to continue on the team and looks forward to wearing the Tinkoff-Saxo tricot in 2015'.

He made a typo a few pages back but continued repeating so I was curious where the link was with the english guy (not Rogers).
Did I offend him?

I could be wrong, but I think he left Saxobank for the first time because he wanted leadership in the classics.

And waiting 10 months between signing the contract and announcing it doesn't really make any sense.

Wasn't there also a rider with Riis who also "allegedly" signed a contract extension in the autumn and then left the next year?

Isn't the Tinkoff team almost full now?

25 riders signed for the 2015 season and Tinkov wants a Russian more and couple of key domistiques.

They have to sell a few of those who are already under contract.

So Sagan's support on the cobbles includes Bodnar, Bennati, Breschel.
I think its enough to be competitive. Adding a bigger name might just create the "too many chefs" syndrome.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as they sign the right people. Guys that are purely domestiques for the classics and wouldn't be in a leadership position anyways. Guys like Breschel, Devolder, Burghardt for example (just rattling off some random names).

Only if they signed guys like GVA, Trentin, Terpstra, etc. (the guys who can take their own chances and succeed) would they run into the too many chiefs problem.

Funny you mention Trentin since he doesn't have any classics results and is just a simple domestique in these races. But yes I agree overall!

However still, Terpstra, Stybar Boonen work well. So having many leaders can be done.

Damiano has gone BMC and Giampoalo should stay Katusha.

M.Frank should stay at IAM, where he can conceivably win ToS/ other week long races, before moving on to be a domestique again.

Any news on the future of Frank and Andy Schleck?

Is the Alonso team really going ahead? If so who are they going to sign and what level would they be? Pro Cont seems most likely and searching for wild cards.
