TimoCycling - Stats in spoiler. So far he hasn't proved much, though. Maybe this year will be his breakthrough year as well


Jesleyh - Their stats are probably way off, but this story is about Stijn & Willy so it doesn't matter too much Hope Wilco will prove he's worthy of leadership at the Tour He's aiming for top 10.

Miguel98 - Well, now that you mention it, 95.000 a month is not nothing

krisa - I'm sure they will. Farrar is sprinting in the Giro and in the Tour, so a win in one of the tours should be possible! And if not, he's been Champion of USA for 3 years in a row, he can make it 4

PCM rulezz - No Tour this year, unfortunately. I made a choice and decided to try and get Willy to win the Giro at 24 years of age. It'll be a tough campaign but imagine if he pulls it off!

Jakstar22 - Thanks! Let's hope for a good season!

Ollfardh - Vanmarcke will be with him deep into the finale, which is something Stijn never had! the Ronde or Roubaix would make his season, that's for sure!

krisa - I know. I didn't handle the transfers. But it doesn't matter much

TheManxMissile - Ask and Ye shall receive. Team stats are in the spoiler, ranked on wage with Willy and Stijn cut out. Some stats may be weird but don't blame me, I didn't watch over their development



FreitasPCM - Glad you like the schedules Only thing I hope is that Stijn will keep his Giro form for the National Championship. With it being K-B-K, it's a major chance for him!

TimoCycling - I didn't handle the team's control (though I did bring in Talansky and Hunter ), but the Dutchies are welcome

Jesleyh - Thanks! He did quite fine!

Mordekaiser - Uhm... I'll try to tell you as soon as I know myself Navigateur is TT1, Bango is the former Movistar. The rest I'll have to check!

TimoCycling - Willy only wants to race where there are time trials to show his nice jersey and Stijn did TDU last year and then Roubaix was a bit ruined because he couldn't hold his form this long.

We also have, in this studio today, National Champion Tyler Farrar, big talent Andrew Talansky and the hot Belgian duo, Willy Wouters and Stijn Van Gent. Welcome to the show. Tyler, tell us, are you going for the title again this year?
Farrar: I'd be lying if I said that title doesn't mean as much anymore. It's the most important event of the year, so I'm definitely putting everything I've got to get another National Title!
Where else can we expect you? Paris - Roubaix, the Tour de France?
Farrar: Indeed, Mark. I'll be racing some classics first, including Roubaix. Then I'm going to the Giro and the Tour.
Seems like a busy schedule. We hope the best for you, Tyler! Andrew, we're looking for someone to make us forget all about Lance Armstrong. Will you win the Tour for me?
Talansky: I will definitely try, Mark. I'm 26 now, so I'm approaching my best years. Winning the Tour has always been my big dream.
What do you think about the team this year? Experts say it's one of the strongest squads in the professional world of cycling.
Talansky: I would have to agree with them, really. We're a strong squad and the atmosphere is really great! Every gets along so well and it's a pleasure riding together. We're hoping for an amazing season.
Well, thanks, Andrew. Part of that success will fall on the shoulders of this man, Belgium's new Tom Boonen, Stijn Van Gent. Tell me, did I pronounce your name correctly?
Van Gent: You certainly did! I just have to say I definitely agree with Andrew. The team really connects and it's been amazing so far. Let the racing begin!
You are aiming for Paris - Roubaix as well, we heard? Is that your kind of race?
Van Gent: Well, much like Tom Boonen, the profile suits me perfectly. I hope to win it one day!
Well, maybe we'll see you showing Tyler where to ride, as Boonen did with Lance once. You may remember. Anyway, the best of luck there, Stijn! Finally, we welcome Willy Wouters. Willy, some say you've been adopted by our great nation?
Willy: Adopted? Well, I've been missing out on my allowance, then! No, seriously, I came here as a neopro to race in Colorado and the public just totally accepted me. It's been great!
Yes, I remember, you finished 2nd. Everyone loves a loser. Just kidding here! Will you be racing in the Tour this season?
Willy: Not this season. I'll be concentrating on the Giro, see if I can do better than last year at the Tour. Peter Stetina is helping me do that!
Oh yes, Peter. Is that little bugger still riding? Just kidding. Thank you all for being here, that's it for now! We thanks Tyler Farrar, our very own kamikaze, Andrew Talansky, our next LeMond, Stijn Van Gent, the new Boonen and Willy Wouters, our long lost son. We thank the audience and good night! God bless America.
