Fransisco Ventoso:
Our "top-sprinter" of yourse there are better sprinters like Boonen,Freire and maybe the best Mark Cavendish.
But i think this transfer was very good for the Giro.
Andreas Klöden:
Andy is a great help for Contador at the Tour.
Maybe he will go to the Giro.
Levi Leipheimer:
Also a great help at the Tour but maybe more than just a good help?
Lance Armstrong:
"The Comeback Man"will help at important races like Tour De France or Giro.
Alberto Contador:
He is the one and only, maybe the best climber at the moment.He is our leader.And of course the big favorite for the Tour victory. |
