This Vuelta squad is sad. Because now Froome may sit on Uran simply because he can. 
Good thing we have Pate... for Swift.

That is a shame. I guess he's hoping to win the KOM again as his last hurrah. |

"After the Vuelta" means that he's riding it this year, or what?
Because if he wont be there, then I think it was pointless to invite Cofidis. A team like Acqua & Sapone, Androni or Colombia-Coldeportes would've been a better choice imo.

Don't think it's gonna be PT. Hopefully the UK road racing scene might be revived thanks to the Wiggins effect and it won't just be some race in London. |

If it can start at HC and move up, fine, but I sure hope it's not PT.

No, this reace shouldn't move up. You can have really cool selective races in the UK, so if a British race is to be made PT, I sure hope it isn't this one.

eugh, why do we have to put races on in London when the best cycling in this country BY FAR is in the Lake District? I mean, we could have some seriously brilliant races up there at the many passes. |

So after 8 years Hamilton is stripped of his gold medal at the Olympic time trial. Ekimov is now the official gold medalist. Julich silver and Rogers bronze. Meh. |
