oh good, i hope they do find a sponsor for next season. No Fuji Servetto for the tour de france they have been banned after last year with ricco and piepoli.
The fuji part is well known
I actually hope they do find a sponsor, I'm not the biggest fan of the team, but the more Cycling sponsors the better |

I like cobo and de la feunte and if the team goes quits and they dont find a new team it will be sad to see good attacking riders like them go. |

I was talking about Agritubel finding a sponsor
and Fuji should sit it out for no more reason that the are riding piece of shit bikes that don't deserve to be in a major race |

oh lol I think they will lose Moreau to retirement at the end of this season. He's getting too old now, he isnt the climber he used to be. |

I think it depends on whether he rides well in the tour this year
If he gets a top 10 I think he might just say screw it and retire right after the tour |

After last years tour, honestly i cant see him getting top 10, the past 2 years he's look out of form and unable to keep up with the new young talents coming through. I think his older legs have caught up with hime now. |

I hope Valverde will get top 3 or even win, always wanted him to win the tdf. i was dissapointed to see him drop off in the mountains. i felt he ddint give it his all or he was tired from the daunphine libre last year, so i hope he gets his races right this year. |

Actually, he always get dropped in the mountains. Every year is the same. At the beginning, he says he will prepare well for the tour. Then, during the tour, he gets dropped, as always. Then, he says he didn't focus well enough because he had other objectives for the year. In january of the next year, rinse and repeat...
He is like Cunego: he can't handle with the big mountains in any Grand Tour, it's just that. |

well as far as I remember in 2007 he could keep up very well with the best (despite Contador/Rasmussen ofc) in the mountains before he lost big time due to the "Windkante" (don't know the english word ^^)
And didn't he crash in 2008?
Nevertheless he's very old I agree  |

woa-woah. They're only sponsorless for next season. They're looking for a new sponsor. Nothing about the team going yet.
C.A. a way better team from all points couldn't find a new sponsor last year. And now with the financial crisis ...

that happens every year with one or two teams it doesnt mean that Agritubel will have much difficulty finding another sponsor.
but I agree with the financial factor even though we've seen a lot of new sponsors this year such as Cervelo, Bbox, Fuji, servetto, ISD, Vacansoleil...

the reason i dont like landis is because he ruined cycling's image in one of the worst way possible, if he could of been honest and owned up for it then Oscar Periero would of had had in TDF win at the end of the tour instead of after the 07 tour and after Contador won it the next year. It just werent fair on Periero and because of that i can't stand Landis. |

Rumour going around is that Tyler Hamilton might have tested positive during the Tour of California.
Jornal Ciclismo wrote
The American Tyler Hamilton (Rock Racing), who is struggling with a rumor that he used doping in Tour of California is another absence [for the Volta ao Alentejo].
Edit: I tried to find something about the subject that was in English but I am yet to find anything. In fact, so far, this is only time I've heard such a thing (since his comeback that is )
