Not news, per say, but Boasson Hagen seems pretty destined for Tinkoff and Riis. Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet produced a graph showing Hagen and Kristoffs progress the last seasons. Hushovd also says EBH has become too complaisant being a helper.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

It's funny seeing the 'helper' comment since EBH was really only helper at Tour.
It was him who chooses his goals, and it's he who hopelessly chooses Roubaix as his season goal which frankly is ridicolous stupid. Riis is a manager that could help him a lot though.

To me personally Boasson Hagen has always under-performed |

I don't like Tinkoff, I don't like Riis and I don't like several of the riders on the team, but still I'm optimistic about Boasson Hagen going there. As Alakagom says, Riis could really help him out, and a change of environment is what he needs.

Lets hope he gets more chances to shine which unfortunately he didn't get at Sky |

Hi boys. 
It is just me, or Sagan does not look like typical cyclist, who are usually looking like they were released from concentration camp...

Well he is a sprinter, so that sort of explains a little more 'mass', if not a lot, as he can also climb.
And he's not exactly bulky, but I get what you mean, and its nice to see, unlike some people's recent photographs 
Also, he has an awesome street, I want to live there. Just look at the view, and colours! |

Astana want Kangert to ride in la Vuelta as a free member. Kangert, however, feels knackered after the tour and says he will see what the next couple of weeks bring.
On the other hand, as he hasn't won anything outside Estonia in two years he feels as if he needs to get a stage win somwhere for extra motivation, doesn't matter if in a low competition race or a GT.
Oh and he was slightly upset and sad on the last mountain stage of the tour when Nibali followed Horner as he had plenty of legs to really pace for Nibali  Lol, what a workhorse, always feeling dreadful when he couldn't give 110% |

According to Radsport, Team Bora (NetApp-Endura) will be switching from Fuji frames to Argon18 frames for their bikes. While L'Equipe are reporting that Cofidis are switching from Look to Orbea, the almighty return of Basque bikes , for 2015.
Edit #1: More info about the Bora deal in the Transfer thread it seems, going to be a bit of a mouthful of a team name.

I dont see a problem here , if UCI didn´t want him to ride they should suspend him or work a bit faster its not like have have had over 2 years to deal with this. |

After all of the times we've heard cyclists say they're clean only to end up testing positive, or admitting it, we're too quick to call everyone a doper.I agree as well that innocence until proven guilty. |

Same here no matter which rider they are and should be considered innocent until they are proven guilty.
Something i feel UCI have a huge problem with sometimes. |
