i think Slipstream will go pro tour, they have such a strong squad for next year.
Plus i might pick up a slipstream jersey, looks nice.
And a disco one. Should be able to pick a cheap one up. 2007's disco jersey looks quite nice

Zabel and Valverde not welcome at the worlds
Valverde terrible year continous...and dont think that he will be in Vuelta. If that continous he get lot of critics before next TdF for forum members..then it's my turn to support him (like I did with Boonen).
Germans take doping issue more and more seriously...and heck that is good. |

Yep - I'm all in favour for the organisers of the worlds to block former dopers - and those implemented in other doping cases which the relevant authority decided not to investigate.
It's a tough stance, but quite frankly, cycling needs this to get clean

we won't know until the final decision. if he's cleared, then he can. but for now I believe he can't race.
the decision should come pretty soon, so...same as Petacchi and Piepoli.
actually, Petacchi's decision is out already, but there's someone who wants to appeal the decision. |

yes, but he has to wait for a certain amount of time, during which someone (again, cannot remember who) can still appeal. if the time passes and they don't appeal, he's back. |

Kloden's allowed to race.
I think we'll be hearing more about exclusions from the event soon. Stuttgart seem to be taking this seriously.
But it's the UCI who have the final decision, Stuttgart are only requesting permission to disculde them at the moment.

actually, he's been cleared by 2 of 3 organisations. we're waiting for the last one, but...doesn't look likely that he'll be found guilty. |

higlights:
*Doesn't expect much from Vattenfall cyclassics and ENECO Tour, both races are only preparation races for the worlds
*Main objective: World championship TT and road race. He thinks he is a candidate for a medal in both if he's in top shape
*Other objectives: Italian races Giro dell Emilia, GP Beghelli and Tour of Lombardy are his biggest goals after WC... |

here you guys go
Less than a week after Discovery Channel announced their team was folding, Unibet.com have announced they will also cease operations at the end of this season.
Barred from starting any of the major Tours – partly as a result of the ongoing argument over the ProTour between the UCI and the major stage race organisers – Unibet.com's future was always uncertain and not getting a place in the Vuelta was th last straw for the half-Swiss, half-Belgian outfit decided to quit.
The current team line-up includes veteran British sprinter Jeremy Hunt – this year the winner of the first race of the season in Europe, the GP D'Ouverture and it is unclear if he will be able to find a place in another team for 2008.
Ever since Hunt's win in early February, Unibet.com were told that for legal reasons related to betting laws - which have yet to be fully settled one way of the other – they could not take part in French races wearing their team kit advertising their sponsor. The team responded by wearing alternative race kit, firstly with huge question marks and then featuring their bike company's logo but this did not resolve their problems with the organisers of the Giro, Tour and Vuelta, who made it clear that Unibet.com was unwelcome whatever kit they were wearing because they were involved in the ProTour power struggle.
Unibet.com's participation was, the organisers argued, imposed on them by the UCI and the ProTour – to which their races, they said, no longer belonged. Whilst Unibet.com and the UCI disputed – and still dispute - this line of argument, the sponsor decided that after 10 months of backing a squad which was not allowed to take part in all the big events, they had had enough and were quitting. As a result the riders and team staff are now desperately looking for a places in other teams for 2008.

This sucks!
When we swedes finally got a own team to cheer on, the ASO destroyed its future immediately. God, i hate the French.
PS. Not half-Swiss, half-swedish. Sweden is not the same as Switzerland. |
