What the hell happened in 2008, biopassport?
Also seems weird that after his 2007 success they changed up his calendar completely.

2007:
Murcía, Castilla y León, GP Big Mig, Alentejo, La Rioja, Catalunya, Suisse, Tour, Vuelta, Worlds
2008:
Mallorca, Murcía, Tirreno-Adriatico, MSR, País Vasco, Giro, Madrid, Getxo, Ordizia, Donostia, Olympics, Deutschland Tour, Cyclassics, Poland, Worlds

O/T but does anyone know what has happened to Linus Gerdemann? Did he get any kind of team this year?
His asking price was too much for Continental teams and no WT team was interested. I thought at least IAM would have picked him up, but I do think that he gives the impression he may ask for more based on historical palmarès than his current level would suggest. He was probably doped back on T-Mobile, sure, but injury helping to derail his career should also be taken into account.

Ouch. A bit of not-too-hidden anger there pmcg76! :eek:
thnx Rip. I dont know what this guy/girl's agenda is. i am pretty fair to individual riders* if you see the Froome thread, the Evans thread, i make a point to put out their record, point out, p'raps whilst maintaining a negative position on doping status.

*now, i am not completely impartial on my own assessment.
