Well as tradition dictates I have no news. But I feel like I need to open one of these threads to become a true member of the community, so here you go.
News ahoy.
Manager of Bunzl - Centrica
ICL's World Tour Champions and Talented Bottlers
Not really news but for the Belgians among us, this weekends's Nieuwsblad (sportspages) features a nice article about 20 years Topsport Vlaanderen and their biggest talents.
I bring news!
A new CT team has been formed, called PinoRoad, from Chile; with a core squad of young Chilean riders. They have also signed Oroz and Urtasun from Euskaltel as 'mentors'.
That sounds pretty good though they got rid of GP of Wales. The Wiltshire Grand Prix, however, sounds like the most dull race ever. Anyone that's ever driven through Wiltshire will know what I mean. Glad Stafford's on it though, I went to that last year

There are hopefully going to be more additional races added before the season starts

In an interview Oleg Tinkov says a few interesting things:
- His CEO will make all finansial and logistical decisions
- Bjarne Riis will make all sporting decisions.
- He wanted a few Russians, but Riis said "No"
- Riis wanted two riders, who will be announced shortly
PCM-style merger of the day :

Heulot will join as supervisor, L. Lebreton as DS, and Marino joins too (not sure for what position, he retired from being a cyclist a few weeks ago).

The Race Director from the Giro, Michele Acquarone, should been fired because of suspicion of fraud. Also RCS-president Giacomo Catano has been fired. Paolo Bettini is named as a possible successor.
I guess it's not worthy of news, but this video is the first time I saw Tinkov speak English, and I couldn't stop laughing . What a guy ( and a prick too ). I can see why Contador hates him ( almost everyone to be fair )
Did he say he didn't want to read them because it was translated in English?
