Cult Energy Vital Water to be Pro Continental in 2015, team will change name to Cult Energy Pro Cycling, new sponsor to be announced later this week.
Thought we already knew the PCM Daily was the new secondary sponsor? 
Also, i really hate that Lombardia course. I love how it was a little more favorable towards climbers, now a guy like Sagan could even win it.

I always liked Voigt, and I hope he will succeed. Mainly because of its verbal battles against doping. I really hope he never used doping as he says because he really seemed particularly serious saying all of that. Tyler Hamilton was throwing shit on him. How one like him, one of the biggest dopers of all time can say that "Voigt said the most ridicoulous thing that he ever heard"?.
People like that should really be brought to its knees and shot. Not because of the doping, hating people becuase of the doping is pointless, but because of its ipocrisy.

WTF? Hating a rider because he is from a dark era for cycling? Dark era doesn't mean that all the riders were doped. Voigt is (hopefully) one of those that didn't.

I don't hate him, but I do think he was doped right up at some stage, he wasn't just a rider during those times but was a successful rider during those times, rode for a dodgy team in CSC with someone like Riis who certainly had a hand in having his riders "prepared". Voigt might have been clean but I highly doubt it

Obviously the team is moving towards Luxembourg and now the Andy Schleck rumours make more sense I guess.
The identity though is supposed to stay Danish! |

I'm somehow happy of this.
Cancellara, aware that he cannot win the TT he is focusing on the RR, the only race that IMO he misses. |

Meh, after all he wasn't that far off from Martin a few days ago. But the route looks more for guys like Cance and Gilbert this year, so its probably a wise decision when its said and done. I would have preferred to see him at the ITT though, without a question.
And whats up with that. I expected to see at least a as hard route as last year giving the fact that Rodriguez, Valverde and Contador will like that and thus improve their chances of winningNow, its basically free for everyone. Some might argue that thats how the WC route should be, but.. |

seems I wasn't the only one that disliked Sagan winning the points without any stage win

I predicted that would happen as soon as it became clear Sagan would win again this year. They changed the rules in 2011 so Cavendish could win, so now they will change the rules to level the playing field so someone else other than Sagan might be able to win - give more points for wins or something like that.
But the first paragraph of that article:
"Christian Prudhomme hinted that the first week of next year's Tour de France will be an almost entirely flat affair with just two stages offering points toward the mountains classification."
Well that'll sure be an interesting first week

Meh, TdF organisers have a fetish for northern France. Expect bad weather and a lot of crashes, seems to be the story in such a week |

What a surprise.
Preudhomme is looking into the Vuelta style approach... Not the way to go. |

Sagan will probably win it anwyay.
They will make a big mistake if they make such changes. |

I wish Ponferrada was a tougher course too, but Purito & Valv had a tailor-made route last year and they blew it. Peloton is too big to just focus on getting another climber/puncheur. It is surprising though that in Spain, where they like to make courses for their home guys, it's a relatively open course.
Cance doing only WC RR is understandable and best decision he could make.
