Anybody that missed or couldn't watch OPQS presentation, it's on their website now.
Quite nice presentation, miles better than RSNT one. Love the Chavanel - Pineau combo in their room, hilarious at times 
The beginning is in Belgian, but later it's full English, rider's innterviews with almost all the riders in English too etc.

Say wuuuuut?
I failed again not remembering that Belgium doesn't have its own language really. I suppose its French then ?
No, it's Dutch. 
Only in Flanders. French and even German are also considered official languages in Belgium. The majority speaks Dutch though, or flemish as some people call it.

I'm wondering if he'll ever confirm that he's a top-10 rider for Grand Tours, has his big chance this year, again... and starts doubting about his role very early in the season. |

Can you blame him? First he's told he'll be the team leader at the Giro.
Then Bruyneel says Klöden might be the leader after all.
Then Bruyneel admits Frank Schleck riding is also a possibility.
Add that Bruyneel is not someone who can be trusted, and I can perfectly understand Fuglsang's discomfort.

Small fail on the OPQS bus. Velits brothers are Russian, and Matt Brammeier is British, while having Irish Champion Jersey.

Yep, that's right. Very similar flag though to Russian.

Who the hell makes those graphics?
Like valv said it's not the first time this happens. Is Geography really that difficult? I mean, I would find it pretty offending if someone would put the wrong national flag next to my name.

Lulz, that's the kind of fail you can expect from cyclingnews, but their own team? Serious fail rigth there.

Makes a nice change then. As for Brammeier, at least his nationality is more debatable |

That is rather embarassing. Let's hope that bus is taken out of service and everything changed.
A team not even knowing the nationality of the Irish national champion, kinda stupid.

If anybody want to watch it, Down Under Classic at it's final stages now. The link doesn't work with Chrome it seems, but perfectly fine with IE.

I was checking OPQS website and I stumbled on that :
Zdenek's biography
...
...
Hobbies: golf, thinking about my future
Now.... that's a strange hobby imo  
Although I would blame the person that wrote it, rather than Sytbar saying that.

I didn't know Grabsch's nickname was Luftwaffe. I wonder why?
Edit: And Cataldo's nickname is Picasso.
Edit 2:
Also
Zdenek's biography
Favourite race: all races…I love cycling
I wish there were more cyclist with that kind of spirit. *cough Andy *cough

What´s bad about having a special favourite race? It doesn´t mean a rider doesn´t love cycling.

Nothing.
The "all races... I love cycling" just shows that for Stybar the name of the race or winning is not as important as being there and take part in a cycling race.
