I thought the Murcia organizers had lost their minds. Clearly they're not alone... |

Dwars door Vlaanderen didnt invite BMC cause they were going to start with a '3rd rate' team there. (without Ballan, Kroon, Hincapie, Burghardt, etc)
They think that Xacobeo will be more motivated to race there. |

Yes, Xacobeo's first rate line-up is better .... not.

Zdenek Stybar has offers from Sunweb-Projob, Landbouwkrediet and also....Quick.Step. He says that Quick.Step offers him place in its Classics roster for next year....
And if Fidea doesn't improve its contract conditions he will leave.

Apparently Playitas offered to put him up for a week in one of their resorts so he could start rehabilitation in a warm environment, rather than the Isle of Man. |

i think he will not has the stamina for the classics in the next year but a change to quickstep is a good option for him
and good to hear that bellis will leave the hospital...

Good to hear Bellis is leaving hospital soon.
And lol @ Xacobeo in Dwars door Vlaanderen. WTF? I may be missing someone, but Xacobeo hasn't any rider capable of doing something there, have they? |

Gazzetta has a bombshell.
According to them, The Schleck brothers (as I've been saying for years) have told Riis to f*** off with a contract extension. That's not the bombshell, anyone with a brain and no bias could see that a mile off. They have no loyalty and don't care about anyone but themselves.
The bombshell is.....they want to start their own team along with Kim Andersen and.....Marc Biver. Yes, the guy behind the doping at Astana in the Klöden and Vino years.
Gazzetta also says Cancellara is their first target in terms of signings.
Also that Lampre is after Pellizotti.
EDIT: One thing does surprise me, though. The schlecks not going to Radioshack. Then again Armstrong only wanted Andy if Frank f***ed off somewhere else. And since they don't want to split up...

Hm, I was under the impression they both wanted to stay based on this old article: https://sporten.tv...35436.html

Well.. If that's true I defiantly don't believe in a Team "Saxo Bank" in 2011... If the 3 only guys who're able to win something leave them, Bjarne Riis will go down - very hard!
