issoisso said:Wow, Enrico Battaglin is absolutely on fire this year.
What is he to Giovanni Battaglin? Son? Nephew?

Van Poppel... meh, don't know. Slagter still needs to get some more results. Jetse Bol is who they need to sign.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:really glad about this, was hoping he'd sign for the senior squad... or not considering rabo tactics, but as long as he got into a good team where he can race some of these big races I was happyAnywhu is a big talent imo.
would like to see van poppel and Tom Jelte Slagter make the move up to.
He'll probably end up at Cervélo, for obvious reasons.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:I think Van Poppel is real quick. Has beaten Farrar and Cavendish in sprints before.
