I don’t know enough about the situation in Kazakhstan to comment on it even if it was appropriate to do so here but my only take would be that the cycling team has put the country on the map so to speak in a big way for many people in Europe and there would be PR value to maintain a world level team regardless of who was running it.

Battistella has all the moves!
And apparently he was flying in training before getting sick a few days ago. He won an uphill small race against Nibali, Lutsenko and De la Cruz.

I had the same thought—especially when he is flanked by those henchmen.

He voodooed his own brother for Valencia!
Is Henao the Henao we know, or would the 'Henao we know' be his cousin?

But... Henao in the context of Astana is Sebastian.
Not that it matters, he's not riding anyway.

Tomorrow Lutsenko starts the TdS for them. He had a great start to the season, but did not ride races all spring.
Anyone knows what happened to him? He‘s one of their most important riders, after all…
