Pain is a big fat creature riding on your back. The farther you pedal, the heavier he feels. The harder you push, the tighter he squeezes your chest. The steeper the climb, the deeper he digs his jagged, sharp claws into your muscles.- Scott Martin
Greipel will bring Monfort and other powerful riders to Omega Pharma.
Cancellara might stay with Saxo due to their new (temporarily) name in 2011 -> Team Sungard

I don't know about using Grabsch for a role like that, but we'll see

Again: he has a contract. He's going nowhere.

If Contador is coming to Specialized-Sungard, they may not have enough money for him, and if BMC/Cancellara is interested, it can happen.
Like Kolobnev -> Katusha.
If it as said a demand from Specialized they will probably pay extra to cover some of the costs. And I honestly can't see Riis giving up Cancellara. I see him giving up guys who don't think they get the role they deserve or are otherwise not entirely happy with their situation, much like Kolobnev. I see Larsson as on of the first to go in a situation like this.

Like Riis would ever have gotten rid of Kolobnev if he hadn't been named in a doping investigation

I'm sure Specialized would throw enough money at Riis to keep Cancellara. The best GC rider and the best Classics rider on the same team equals maximum exposure! Cancellara has already done commercials for specialized:
And I can't see Riis let Larsson go that easily since there'll be a TTT in next years TdF. Contador, Cancellara, Larsson, Porte, Voigt, Alex Rasmussen...Edited by CrueTrue on 30-07-2010 12:04
"Kraftværket fra Rostock, en stor bastant trampende tysker, en torpedo, der skydes gennem luftrummet, en bombe af kraft, pløjer nærmest asfalten op, benene går som store stempler på den tyske maskine, en rullende bismarcksklump."
The Schlecks have confirmed they are leaving Saxo Bank.
However - here is an interesting quote from Andy
"We're not going to stay. We're going to leave at the end of the year. All the doubts and news about us racing in the same team as Contador are now finished. We're not going to continue."
There's no point slapping a schleck - Sean Kelly on "Who needs a slap"
