Boonen & Lefevere are facing trial for tax evasion.
However, this apparently didn't ruin the atmosphere of their training camp in Spain according to these pictures. Either that, or the news hasn't reached them yet...
Lefevre definitely knows about it, so I guess Boonen, too 
Very disappointing from them. Other names mentioned are Stijn Devolder and Nico Mattan. |

With global warming, you'd think everyone would want white jerseys, to avoid getting too hot during the race 
Still, I prefer the black to fluo yellow |

Imagine if the teams with black shirts would do a Cervelo and change their shirts to white during summer. Most teams would have a special jersey for the Tour de France.

All these sponsors can't be black. They could just change it to another sponsor color.

Yeah and so will Tinkoff, Lotto-Soudal, Katusha, Cannondale-Garmin, Astana, AG2R. So it isn't a complete blackout, also wasn't Trek redesigning there jersey? Apparently its mostly white but I can't remember where I heard that.
Edit: Oh and you just can't miss Lampre with those pink shoulders

Great squad, not that I like many of them...

Yeah, very good selection by SKY. Porte and Thomas always do very well in Down Under and Kennaugh is a welcome new addition to Down Under.

So UCI in a typical sneaky fashion released their new rankings points for 2015. The rankings resemble the CQ rankings a bit closer, but still not there.
https://www.uci.ch...nglish.pdf
So nowdays in 2015 winning Quebec and Montreal = winning Tour
There's also no more differentiation between monuments and other WT classics. Quebec win equals LBL win points wise.

It's good that they're finally giving points to positions outside the Top 10. But yes, does look like they are trying to undermine some of the big race organisers by how they have done the scales.
