Contador without one of his helpers? What is Navarro searching for? Beeing a leader at Cofidis to replace Moncoutie probably. |

Navarro may be leader or maybe he's there to work for Taaramae as well as getting his own chances. |

Contador loses one of his main helpers, but I have to say that is a nice move. Navarro will, hopefully, show that he's a quality climber, and he'll have more chances to be the leader in races that he wasn't in the past (besides with the return of Contador, he wouldn't have more opportunities to lead SaxoBank) |

Of course, but i don't think that Cav is gonna decide to leave sky because it's the best team, and even if he goes to QPQS, there isn't a good lead-out rider and there are some good sprinters like Boonen, Ciolek and Chichi.
Your classic thing doesn't work out as EBH was the leader at Paris-Roubaix and failed. He had a bad day, but it's nothing do to with Sky - as they helped him.
When Cav leaves EBH will be sprinter No.1 again And EBH will not leave until 2014, so no point even thinking about it
Yeah but the porblem is that Cav won't leave SKY. And maybe EBH is not the best cobblestone rider, but at Tou of Algarve, and Tirreno Adriatico he won the stages on cobblestones and at Tour of Flanders he arive in the chasing group where riders like eisel, hushovd, vanmarche, van summeren couldn't be. |

And I agree, but EBH had Sky's support in cobble classics i.e. Paris Roubaix and Ronde. He was their leader. Sky was dedicated to him in those races. And you clearly state - they weren't in the first paragraph
You can't know it about Cav. As for today, it's 50-50 whether he stays or not. Dave also commented on the fact Sky might go for Triple GT if they can, and to achieve that - it would be best not too have Cav in the team

I wonder if Navarro will get to lead at the Vuelta?
Cofidis have had a huge transfer season.

Of course! Cav should't stay at SKY if they are into GC stuff but i can't see other team for him.Everybody say that he'll go to QPQS but there are sprinters and he will fight with boonen because of their rivalry. |

Navarro's move was a shock for me. I thought he'd never leave Contador.

Vegard Stake Laengen will have to find himself a new team, since TT1 now ONLY wants type 1 diabetical riders. And Laengen is obviously not a diabetic.
This is great news if true! Although, over 10 other riders would have to leave too, and I haven't heard anything.

Cofidis needed a Spanish guy, like the old days.

One of my favourite American riders, and a seriously under-rated rider. I reckon he could probably lead a few races in the mountains next year, unless Boily improves at that soon, in which case he's going to be one of the best teammates they can get.

Not really sure if that's a good move. He would fit Cannondale and might get some leadership in the same races he would with Spidertech. I mean, Spidertech are onl;y in those races anyway. And don't forget that they have lost m,ost leaders and domestiques, moving him way up the ladder.

Nah. I dont think he'd really get any leadership opportunities with Cannondale. They still have Caruso, Basso, Agnoli, Sarmiento, and most likely Dombrowski at this point.
I dont see why as an American sponsor, they'd lose 1/2 American riders they have, unless they bring some in. I dont know what Levi's situation is, but I could see him moving, as well as Eastman, Dombo, Radioshack guys and then a few more.

Not Agnoli. He's going to Astana with his pal Nibali.

I agree with what you said about Duggan though. Liquigas still has better riders than him.
