After a poor performance by Kreuzinger, at after I have no knowledge of the management news, who will be the TDF leader for Astana? Kreuzinger again? Brajkovic?

I don't think kreuziger will ride the tour, He didn't trust his TT ability.
And Brajkovic could be the way to go, or what about vino?

Don't think Kreuziger will go as he was training for the Giro and he said it was to many time trial km's for him.
Edit: Ahhh Teddy was first.

It mighht not be the smartest choice for them, but Astana is Vino's team to the very core of it, so if he (Vino) wishes so, he shall be the only leader of the team with 8 team mates only for him.
Not sure if it's going to happen like that, but it could. |

Definitely not Kreuziger, he was targeting Giro-Vuelta duble right from the start of the season, he should ride Pologne,San Sebastian, olympics and Vuelta.
And Brajko,Vino for the Tour leaders,anything can happen so no problem to have two.

I sure hope Vino'll ride a good Tour, after all, it'll be his last. Let's hope he attacks on Champs and wins again! |

Astana will depend on Kiserlovski in mountains a lot. Brajkovic is totally unproven as GT rider and so far this year has shown nothing so I don't really count him even as a Top 10 contender.
I hope Vino will get a stage win and yellow for few days, but with tough season and injuries he had I really doubt it.

Lol, biggest farce win for long time imo. The stage was cut short and ended faster. He was involved in 12 rider break, of which 8 riders didn't knew there was an actual sprint for the stage win happening

It's in times like this, when you start to think what Astana is going to do at the Tour etc, when you realise how stupidly bad spent is their budget. They must be in the top 5 teams budget wise, and their biggest star (Vino aside) is... Kreuziger. Incredible.
They have been lucky this year in the Ardennes though.

The only thing Brajkovic has proven as a GT rider, is that he doesn't have the recovery required.
As for next GT winning country, it's hard to look past the UK.
Other candidates would be Slovakia, Venezuela or Czech Republic.

And I would say he's a top 10 guy, or at least he has a chance. Aren't you the guys who called Pinotti a Giro contender?
And just so some respect to the guy. He's rarely been a leader. Last year when he crashed out he was, but with three other guys. You never know. You saw Dauphine 10 when he peaked for it.
Just show some respect for our fellow PCM Daily member.

I have respect for him, what shows I don't ? Calling that win a farce isn't disrespecting him. As it was a farce ending to a stage.
I don't understand italic-bolded part really. Whom we didn't show respect ?

I agree with you, but he did win a four man sprint. Only 25% odds.
And I was talking about Janez, just like before.

Well yeah, still that is his biggest highlight in 2012. Winning a farce sprint
Ohh, I doubt Brajkovic is a PCM. Daily member really
