I would suggest you bring Napolitano, Horrach, Serov, Klimov, Trussov and Rovny to the Vuelta.
And, yes, Roger's victory in Melbourne was just astonishing. That tiebreaker kept me on the edge of my seat. 
thanks for your suggestion!
@all just go on with your ideas
And yes this final was great whether Roger played a few points bad but all in all another great win for him against Murray which i didn´t like until the winner ceremonythere he got some sympathies from me |

STAGE 14 : COLMAR - BESANCON
It´s another chance for Robbie today to win his Tour stage
The breakaway
The pack caught up the breakaway really early today.Our sprint train looks great
The situation changed because Haussler and Hushovd could take the lead and it´s gonna be a hard fight for the stage win
Hushovd is far in front McEwen doesn´t come out of Steegmans slipstream.He has a bad form today on the contrary to Hushovd and Haussler
Hushovd passed Haussler very easy and so no one could stop him
Next stage win for Thor Hushovd and it´s depressing for us and especially for McEwen
Haussler even managed to make a double for Cervelo.Steegmans is fourth in front of McEwen and Cancellara
Stage results:
| 1 | Thor Hushovd | Cervélo Test Team | 4h38'44 | | 2 | Heinrich Haussler | Cervélo Test Team | s.t. | | 3 | Gert Steegmans | Team Katusha | s.t. | | 4 | Robbie McEwen | Team Katusha | s.t. | | 5 | Fabian Cancellara | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | 6 | Matti Breschel | Team Saxo Bank | s.t. | | 7 | Mark Cavendish | Team Columbia - HTC | s.t. | | 8 | Mikhail Ignatiev | Team Katusha | s.t. | | 9 | Óscar Freire | Rabobank | s.t. | | 10 | Tom Boonen | Quick Step | s.t. | | 11 | Sylvain Chavanel | Quick Step | s.t. | | 12 | Francesco Gavazzi | Lampre - N.G.C | s.t. | | 13 | Gerald Ciolek | Team Milram | s.t. | | 14 | Alberto Contador | Astana Cycling Team | s.t. | | 15 | Markus Fothen | Team Milram | s.t. |

Ok after some bad news i´ve got also good news!
We were able to hold McEwen and Ivanov if we couldn´t hold them i don´´t know what i would do then
Also we tried to get Brajkovic or Rigoberto Uran for the next season but both of them can´t join us because of their contracts. |

STAGE 15 : PONTARLIER - VERBIER
This stage will be another test for Contador and a hard one for our team.We would like to defend the 4th place in the overall
The breakaway with many riders today
At the final climb Menchov starts the first attack
Astana makes the pace in the pack;Menchov´s attack doesn´t make them really happy
But we have not long to wait!Contador makes his move and Evans goes after him prompt
Karpets goes after Contador and Evans
Contador,Menchov and Evans at the 10 km brand
The second group with Sastre and A.Schleck
Petrov tries to help Karpets as well as he can to give him the chance to attack once more
And that´s what he´s doing now!He makes another move
Far away from Karpets, Contador doesn´t give them any chance...he attacks again and again
Evans wants to follow but he can´t
Last km for Alberto and Cadel
Again it´s Contador who shows how to win a mountain stage at the Tour.Evans gets the second place
Andy Schleck managed to sprint on the podium
Karpets lost a lot of time today but he is still in the Top 5!!
Stage results:
| 1 | Alberto Contador | Astana Cycling Team | 5h34'07 | | 2 | Cadel Evans | Silence - Lotto | + 32 | | 3 | Andy Schleck | Team Saxo Bank | + 48 | | 4 | Carlos Sastre | Cervélo Test Team | + 1'04 | | 5 | Denis Menchov | Rabobank | + 1'21 | | 6 | Samuel Sánchez | Euskaltel - Euskadi | + 2'02 | | 7 | Óscar Pereiro | Caisse d'Epargne | + 2'09 | | 8 | Michael Rogers | Team Columbia - HTC | + 2'24 | | 9 | Roman Kreuziger | Liquigas | + 2'32 | | 10 | Christian Vande Velde | Garmin - Slipstream | + 2'57 | | 11 | Jurgen Van den Broeck | Silence - Lotto | + 3'08 | | 12 | Vladimir Karpets | Team Katusha | + 3'17 | | 13 | Pierrick Fédrigo | Bbox Bouygues Télécom | s.t. | | 14 | Christophe Moreau | Agritubel | + 3'35 | | 15 | Tadej Valjavec | AG2R La Mondiale | + 3'43 |

STAGE 16 : MARTIGNY - BOURG-SAINT-MAURICE
First attacks came from Sastre,Evans and of course the Tour leader Contador.Karpets couldn´t counter for the first moment
But then he made his move and reached the group with Evans
Contador and Gesink were in front
Karpets still was in this group with Evans and Sanchez he only had to defend his 5th place in the overall
On the downhill Contador was in front
Evans went after him..while Sanchez and Karpets were behind him
Because of a great downhill ride by Sanchez he could reach Contador and the sprint began there
Sanchez beat Contador in an easy sprint...but he also got an advantage to Karpets
Evans became third in front of....
....Pereiro and....
.....Karpets but he lost another place in the overall!!!!
