As far as I remember, the company will rebrand itself in March, and the cycling team will play a big role in this rebranding. |

Breschel decides not to ride Paris Roubaix and Ronde this year, instead he'll focus on Amstel and Liege Bastogne Liege.
Seems weird to me  Not like he'll lead them at Ardennes, while at Ronde he would have a good shot of winning. Anyway....

It's quite old news (more than a month). He mentioned it again in an interview with sporten.tv2.dk (my new job in 1½ week  ) a couple of days ago, though.
Anyway, it seems weird to me too, but I suppose he feels he can make a top result in Amstel. I doubt it, but we'll see. |

Damien Monier is badly injured after a car ran him over while he was training.

That's quite weird indeed. I guess that with Gesink most likely not being at top-form by then, Rabo's hilly classics lead is kinda open, but still he should focus on the cobbles.

I hope he makes a quick recovery. He has fractures to his face and skull.

According to Rabobank's press dude, Breschel will ride the Ronde. It's quite weird, really. Four days ago, Breschel said this:
"I'm going to ride Amstel Gold Race and Liege Bastogne Liege this year rather than Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris - Roubaix"
https://sporten.tv2.dk/cykling/article...ibler.html
Sounds to me like Rabobank is changing plans. |

Well Breschel said long time ago that he would not ride the Paris-Roubaix, but at that time he said that he would ride Vlaanderen, Amstel and Liege. That would be the main goals for the spring (and San Remo).
Would be really weird if he dont ride Vlaanderen. |

Reports on twitter suggest that Ricco has got a Croatian license and will be riding for Meridiana Kamen Team. |

Today we found some absolutely shocking improvements to be made in one of our riders. Who? That will be apparent soon enough.

I'm guessing Talansky or Stetina as Vanmarcke and Navardauskas were apparently putting out strong numbers last year, I don't know anything about the Kreders, and Haas wouldn't make sense as that would have been yesterday.

Were those the only ones tested today?

No, but I figure everyone else is probably too old.

Thomas Dekker 
Edit: and I just realised I'm already past the 1500 posts. I'm promoted to sprinter now.

I'm not sure if age is a factor in an "absolutely shocking improvement" which is so awesome that "will be apparent soon enough".

I'm willing to bet anything that Rasmussen will be a star one day
