Meh, Omega Pharma Quick Step had a nice ring to the name. I take it Etixx is then some brand or branch of Omega Pharma?
EDIT In any case, good news on successful deals. Especially nice to see a dutch company sponsor Plugge's boys.

I did some quick research wondering the same thing, Etixx is pretty much Omega Pharma's sports nutrition brand. So probably a move by Omega Pharma to try and increase the visibility and market share of Etixx in the lucrative sports nutrition industry.

Great news for Belkin, a big dutch sponsor is what they need!
Hopefully guys like Kelderman will stay aswell now.
Also good news for Michael Boogerd with his cycling project.

Vegard Breen is on norwegian eurosport, pretty much confirming Hansen, De Clerq, Debusschere, Monfort, Gallopin and himself for the Vuelta.

Like I've said before, I doubt having 3 leaders is a viable option for Garmin anymore in a GT. He'll probably be sent to the USA Pro Challenge.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy

I'm at the Tour.
The journalists since yesterday are only talking about one thing. There is a rumour that Andy Schleck was served a notice of bio passport irregularities.

This year or from his prime time?
If it is true, he is done in cycling.

Seems that a GT winner is one of the cases according to the rumours, so Horner, Cobo or Schleck for me.

Wouldn't be suprised if it was horner. Actually i kinda hope it is, cause i just don't believe him
But a shame that anyone gets caught at all.
