oh boy and it's just the beginning of april...ardennes are coming...can tommy voeckler finally win a big one?
but more important,how goddamn strong will be europcar in july because i can't even imagine it.
it's not a secret that christophe kern is getting his knees back these days,pierre rolland will probably have an andy schleck approach so he will be again a beast.the other guys,the armada of rouleurs that conquered galibier last year all seem very strong.
what do you think will they win this year,what are their limits?

allez les gars!

jezuz d_t,lars boom finally did well today after more than 200 kms.be more cheerful

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

im just trolling you

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

It all depends on the form of Rolland i think. Kern is, well a top 15 guy perhaps, Voeckler a top 15 guy too. Rolland can't win, but he CAN be right up there in the mountians, and it will be with his performances we will judge the europcar team this July

 

[spalco]

Do you think they will all be riding for Voeckler no matter what or give one of the younger guys a chance if the opportunity comes up?

I think Rolland will go for GC and Voeckler will try to get stage wins

 

[superconfex]

Love the way they ride...old school and with heart. Love there all for one, one for all approach
Loved the way Rolland dragged his team leader over the mountains last year and still had time to extract the michael out of beefboy and Sammy on the queen stage before winning it! And carrying off the white jersey to boot.
Great to see a team who say just ride guys and see what we can achieve
WT shouldn’t be just about money and this team deserves WT status on merit

 

[Hugo Koblet]

I hope so too, but I fear that they let Voeckler go for GC. I'm looking forward to Kern as well. He was great last year.

I love this topic!

You mean wait for Sammy to catch up with him, wheelsuck him for 12km then sprint away with 2 to go?

but they're in a small team, then it's heroic

this is the problem with you, you take me way too seriously even when I lay it on with very thick you can't spot it... because you are too used to me replying 'seriously' at everything

 

[Pippo_San]

quite irrelevant...UK Postal is gonna make a sprint train up every single mountain, sorry

that only works if your lead man is a good climber...

Kern I have tipped for big things this season...
I think a dauphine GC victory is well within his grasp and i think that with how he was building up to the tour before his injury he can defnitely do a good tour.
Also bear in mind that he won the French Nats TT so he isnt too bad a TT either at least better than the other 2, considering the course this year that may very well come into play.
Also i believe that Voeckler can do well in any race especially ardennes if he sets his mind to it due to his incredible determination.

that only works if your lead man is a good climber...

Ummmm... He is columbian, if that means anything to you

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Lol, mods snoozing. Would hate anyone to have to think about doping if they didn't want to, especially after this afternoons 'performance'.

 

[The Sheep]

Ummmm... He is columbian, if that means anything to you

He's doing the Giro

 

[nobilis]

I can really see Europcar replacing Ag2R as WT team next year. It's a more complete team that can do well on different terrains.
