Where will Roman Kreuziger ride in 2013

[webvan]

Maybe he'll go the Jeff Bernard way, can't pull it off as a leader for GTs, becomes a super-domestique. In that case a return to Liquigas makes sense.

 

[taiwan]

Saxo for his points or Greenedge

 

[paveton]

hrotha is the last person I take seriously about doping.

Well, i believe, that for many people here, you are the last person they take seriously about Kreuziger (and Rujano)

 

[greenedge]

If Astana decide to let him go they are deluded.

That was a great stage victory.

 

[Red Rick]

If Martinelli continues this way i can't see Kreuziger staying with Astana

 

[theyoungest]

I'm not sure Martinelli knew who he'd signed... a contender for the podium in GTs? When did Kreuziger show he could do that?

He'll obviously go to OPQS next year. It's written in the stars. And in Zdenek Bakala's paycheck.

According to team official they are more or less content with Giro's results and want to see Roman in the team.

Another rumour says the team offered him new contract and they're just waiting for his response.

I guess Kreuziger knows who they're signing and is mulling this over. Or sum in the contract was severely reduced, but it's not like he'll get more in any other team (especially after Giro).

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Voted Quick Step. Leipheimer can fall off a cliff (symbolic) any moment now and the team needs another card to play in GT's. The Czech connection will make things easy.

 

[Pentacycle]

Maybe AG2R or some other French team will go after his points, they´ll need them(again) after this season.

If Bertie doesn't go back to Saxo Riis will be all over him...

And if AC goes back, they could use Kreuziger's points and his undeniable domestique qualities and maybe some points, too.

 

[CQmanager]

Staying in Astana may be a good option for Roman especially if they would sign Nibali because it seems that Roman has a problem in his head and cant ride under pressure so staying and getting paid the same without the pressure could be an option. I even think that we would see better results from him if was riding as second leader or super domestique.

Yep, according to kazakhstani newspaper, Roman's new contract should he take it will be less.

 

[plooton]

This poll hasn't favoured Saxo as a probable choice, I had it as some 4-5 possibility.

Yep he is not close to being good enough to win a grand tour at the moment. The Astana experiment has not worked for him. Quickstep looks the obvious choice with Saxo second if they want a leader for the Giro but Saxo needs new blood, their squad looks thin for grand tours. They need three or four quality riders at least.

Roman Kreuziger denied that he signed Saxo Bank. He said he negotiates with more teams and he wants to make it clear before the start of Vuelta.
