Wasn't that stunt guy on the cycle show?
Also, I hope Gesink does well but it's one of those moments when you just don't want to look...
Like England in a penalty shoot out. |

According to Dutch paper De Telegraaf:
-Gesink will focus on the Tour
-Aims for a GC top 10
-Says that it's 'wise' to start with two captains, like they did this year.
Looks like he wants to be co-captain with LTD or Mollema.

Read some comments on another forum that Gesink should focus more on classics and breakaways, to be more like a Rui Costa-type rider. Sounds smart, considering he won Québec and did well in the Giro escape.

He did well in Canada and Italy when it hasn't rained so that was lucky

Well I don't think it is bad idea to send Gesink to the Tour IF Mollema chooses Giro or Vuelta where he could have a GC chance. |

Recent rumours indicate Belkin will be backing Kelderman at the Giro, though. Seems logical to me that their strongest card (Mollema) should lead at the Tour
I'll be disappointed if they make the same stupid decision they made last year and make all their best GC contenders focus on the Tour

After disbanding of many teams, we have some good news at least. The new 'best team' in the world, Movistar has announced extension to their contract for 3 more years, till 2016.

My dutch (or belgian, don't know) is no good, but i'm pretty sure that what is says is that Porte might be targeting Giro next year. Well, that's coincidence. A Giro dedicated to a doper beeing won by a doper.

Yup, that's what Sky have decided, IIRC.
Also, you did it again.
It's Sure, not shore.

Yes, Porte will lead Sky in the Giro, and Sky thinks that he can win it.
Dammit, there go Kelderman's chances...
( )
And it's just Dutch
Belgian doesn't really exist, Flemish Dutch is official still Dutch, I believe
Oh, and btw.
i'm pretty shore

The only thing I can see stopping him (aside from a crash) is Quintana showing up
Purito might match him on the climbs, but I doubt he's going to gain the minutes he'll lose in the TT
