Riis never ceases to amaze me. Saxo Bank has signed the 33-year-old Japanese Takashi Miyazawa (rode for Farnese Vini - Neri Sottoli in 2011). |

Actually, it's been known for two weeks
At least that's how long ago me and Waghlon were discussing it over messenger
EDIT: Anyway, the news back then was that one of the sponsors demanded a japanese rider on the team

Dominic Klemme signs with Project IT4i.
And Riis says that he's done with transfers.

Cippolini is one of the biggest examples. But you got also Boonen, petacchi, Greipel and even Cavendish some sort of way. With train he is unbeatable and if the train is not on the track he is beatable like Greipel did in the Tour of this year. Freire never needed one that makes him a pure sprinter. |

I always thought that 'pure sprinter' was the term used for guys like Cavendish, that is, for guys who can win only in bunch sprints, while guys like Freire are more versatile riders.
Anyway, none of the guys you have listed win only with sprint trains, and all of them have showed this quite a few times, even Cavendish.

I don't like how much Cavendish in particular is criticised because of the Columbia sprint train. Perhaps he would struggle with his positioning without a decent train, but surely has he not proven himself to have one of the / the most fast & powerful finishes around...? It's not his fault either that he has had the fortune of such a great team.
Edit: for fear of straying off topic, Vladimir Karpets and his mullet have made their way back accross to Movistar for next season. Bruseghin also renews.

Not really. I guess he's just out of money. |

Didnt he just say that he is "almost there" with the team? I guess its possible that one or two riders will sign with Saxo, but probably just riders like Rasch or something like that |
