And in more interesting news than Gustav Larsson's season plans, Yahoo has decided to sponsor a cycling team, Yahoo! Cycling Team. 15 riders will be present on the team in 2010, "including including two current professional road riders, members of the Under 23 National Team, and a two-time Olympian" (no names have been revealed yet, except the manager, Kevin Kline, who will also be riding).
The team will mainly feature in American this year, but is planning to seek a Pro Continental license in 2011. |

Rasmus Damsgaard has now been hired by UCI and will no longer be a part of Saxo Bank (I'm unsure about Astana) which will probably mean the end of their anti-doping program. |

No teams. Just the UCI.

The Sky kit is black and blue.

Omega Pharma (next season), Saxo Bank, Xacobeo, Cofidis, AG2R, Cervélo (last season), Quick.Step (last season), Serramenti PVC, Columbia and other and other...
They aren't completely white, but white is dominant colour on jerseys of all those teams... Undoubtly it's the most used colour on jerseys of pro-teams... |

In other words, you completely missed the point 
It's not like anyone ever goes "a rider in white. what team is that?"
Riders in blue, on the other hand are a dime a dozen.

Sastre will race the Giro \o/
He'll "decide the rest as the races come and go"
He'll only start racing in late March.
Meanwhile, Cervélo will do their training camp and presentation in the Algarve, at the same place as last year.

It looks like that Team Saxo Bank doesnt trust Gustav Larsson ability enough, becuase Chris Anker Sørensen will also be captain, on the Saxe Bank team in the Giro d' Italia.

I wouldn't trust him either. And this Giro's route can't possibly help. And the fact that Larsson is an arrogant ass that nobody likes can't possibly help either

Do not doubt Team PFC.
Sorensen has a chance at maybe getting into the top 10
