No surprise to me. They left better teams as IAM out before.
And has IAM been so much better this season as Sojasun?

I know it's an UCI calculation, so worth nothing for anyone with an actual interest in cycling, but I can understand that ASO base themselves on it. Here's the current Euro UCI PCT ranking for teams :

OPQS confirm they are interested in signing Petacchi as a lead-out man for Cav for the Tour de France and beyond, though seems like UCI rules don't allow this

What, did you really expect the spanish court would decide anything else when the evidence incriminates some of the world's major football clubs and tennis players?
Fuck no, the evidence was always certain to be destroyed in the end.

They're Spaniards after all. They don't simply bust Nadal, Real and Barca at the same time. That's their whole worldwide sports celebrities bar Alonso.
And isso: I'm not surprised, but it's still horrible.
WADA has to appeal.

I've got to say that this post is a bit ironic considering you have a signature hailing the days of Erik Zabel.

I never mentioned Majka. Just mentioned Saxobank. I could talk about Majka if you wanted. Just funny to see you try and take the moral high ground with that
And i will keep Viki there, and i don't care as i make no defenses of Sky or BC (ok i do, but only for the sake of debate)

I wasn't the one to take the moral high ground in the first place. And my picture is Majka, who just happens to ride for Saxo Bank.

Please this. Not because of the doping thing, though.

They cover up doping and they have no money. Perfect choice.
Who are the other candidates btw?
How hard can it be?

So Doha please. It would be amazing to see summer olympics in winter, because it will be absolutely impossible to do athletics, for example, in August/September.
