You are quite right. I thought Cav was about the same?
1,75m actually.
You might want to start liking Freire (1,71m)
I agree with the bad mouthing to the press - I had a grievance to settle with my boss, so I spoke to my boss. We settled nothing then. Then he gave me a pay rise... mainly because the minimum wage went up.
Freire eh? I can sprint a bit, and I'm not the heaviest guy, so climbing isn't exactly out of the question...

Now you just need to refuse to train when it's raining and you'll be the english Freire!!!!......minus the talent......and the niceness

Really?
Cause I always wanted to say "Good evening Mr. Bond....I've been expecting you". So the other day I was at a friend's house, I grabbed her bunny (I promise that's not a euphemism), sat on the swivelling office chair, and when she came in I slowly spun the chair around, stroked the rabbit and said it very slowly.
There, I've gone about as far off topic as I can possibly imagine. What will you do now?
I HAVE DEFEATED YOU

I'm on a horse.
If offense is the best defence, does it mean that defence is the worst defence?

Nick Nuyens will probably be good in the cobbled classics with Frank Høj, Baden Cooke and Kasper Klostergaard.
Could the hilly classics be "alright" with Porte, Didier, Nicki and Bellis?
Gustav Larsson could do decently in the smaller tours. As could Porte, CA Sørensen and perhaps even Nicki, but wow how bad this looks compared to the previous 5-6 seasons. With Contador this looks decent, without it looks horrible, and earlier seasons it looked amazing, but OK, time to get realistic. The team have been a bit too strong with riders on the sideline not getting their chance...
Have I forgotten any riders that might lighten up the comming season? Monfort would be very welcome Imo and a typical Riis rider that would probably be top 5 in all classics and top 10 Giro/Vuelta.

Now Oliveira says he hasn't signed yet with Radio Shack. He says he's in negotiations with them and with Team Letzeburg or whatever the name is.
And now he's officially confirmed by Radioshack.
People may remember him as one of only three riders who did anything to animate the U-23 road race by attacking a few times (the others being Herrada and Gallopin). Also, medals in the U-23 European Champs (RR and TT) and U-23 World Champs (TT)

too right.. Larsson seems to bootle it when it really matters in TTs (finishing 1min off Cancellara in the worlds in both 09 and 10)
no real climbers... yeah ok Navarro, Sorensen and Noval are decent, but all uncapable of lasting the distance with a TDF field surging up l'alpe d'huez (by field i mean Van Den Broeck, Schlecks, Menchov, Wiggins, Evans and Sanchez.. maybe Gesink as well)
