Awesome. I booked a trip already.

I would've too, but I've already been convinced to fly to Croatia with Turkish Airlines and my budget doesn't allow for another vacation since I started eating SIDI shoes for lunch every day.

Garate, Barredo, Slagter, Breschel... all decent climbers, apart from the 3 GC men.

Yes. But I am thinking that more damage would be done on the climb instead of pushing pretty hard downhill.

It's a strong a team but they might have started a bit too early.

I think Sean Kelly would understand it if Garmin would put their riders on the front for Martin, who hasn't shown anything like Mollema or Kruijswijk in GTs. That's why I don't really rate those Anglophone commentators.
Good point

Both Goss & Cav were late to dinner the other night and so eat alone as everyone else had finished, they obviously had different meals to everyone else.

Maybe spanish beef?:)

Kelly's more interested in Belgians than he is in most Anglophones! And he was just being complementary about Kruijswijk a minute ago!

Has he said anything about his plans for the future?
he said that according to contract he still has another year to ride, if he chooses to do so

also two reasons behind his comeback to lombardia:
1. it would be pity to end carriere with a fall like that
2. astana team and kazakhstan need his racing points (to keep pro-tour license and for London Olympics, respectively)

has he still got a spot in the team! isn't there an issue with the UCI and Kash taking his place?_?
he does.

it seems Kireyev mysteriously disappeared from the UCI roster overnight so they're back down to 28 riders.

+1. Kelly is not biased towards the english speaking riders. Always calls it as he sees it. No BS.

Working for Mollema and Kruijswijk, just as obvious as Garmin would be working for Martin, Liquigas for Nibali, etcetera
you've changed your attitude about their tatics quite quickly!

Rabo are really ripping the field apart!


theyoungest, I think Martin is a better prospect than Mollema in GT's
Yet Martin has no good GT Finish in his career and Mollema does have 12th in the Giro.
Also Mollema was 5th in suisse, Martin has no comparable results (Pologne is far lower category than Suisse).
I don't think Mollema is that much worse than Martin. Martin is also very inconsistent.

Random gushing about Anglophone riders on Eurosport almost always comes from Harmon.

Busche's American Champ jersey is awful, IMO.
King's was much better, don't know why they changed it.
