Yes.....to show their high standards they hired Jaksche and Hamilton and then fired them B)
...my favorite team these days are Serramenti. Excellent in La Primavera! This will probably change when I watch the next race  |

Hey now, just cause Bruyneel had the financial backing and the technology and methods down to science when it comes to doping WITHOUT getting caught (read: Never tested positive) I don't know if I would go so far as to call it them the Axis of Evil.. |

What has gotten into Alessandro Bertolini ? He started winning like a madman towards the end of last year , and then was aggressive in MSR. I expect great things from him the rest of the year!! |

I don't really have favourite teams either...but I like CSC (mainly because of Voigt, although I'm also a fan of the others), Gerolsteiner (Baden-Württemberg) and all African Teams (also Barloworld as a partially african team and because of Chris Froome and Robbie Hunter)

Wiggins, Cav and Hammond are the main reasons for High Road, although I do like quite a few of their other riders.
Millar, Zabriskie, Martin and Dean for Slipstream amongst others

Continental - Rapha Condor - Recycling.co.uk - Why? Home grown, and one day i'll race against them 
Does Tinkoff appear to be trying to get a clean sport?
Obviously didnt make it clear, Tinkoff why? Because the first comment i said, and slipstream why? the second comment (About clean sport). Don't get me wrong, i reckon tinkoff are as doped as the next team... well maybe not as bad as LPR Brakes, but ya get my point i hope
Oh and as to the racing comment, and me saying i race at a crap level, i do. This year. But that still doesn't mean i cant race with the pros. I've already raced with Jeremy Hunt this year

I don't have a team I follow in particular... rather I cheer for the team that has the most riders I like.
Last season it was Predictor-Lotto.
This year it's looking like High Road. I really like Gerdeman, Cavendish, Boassen Hagen, Hincappie, Rogers and Wiggins. Plus, without the ugly pink uniforms and Ulrich, my reasons for disliking them have vanished.
As far as the contintental teams, I'll go with Barloworld this year. Same reasons, I like the riders. Froome, Hunter, Impey, Cook and Soler in particular. |
