Rasmussen could be a possibility for Saxo Bank-Sunguard.
I think this would be a good transfer on sporting grounds atleast for Riis, there's no doubt that he needs more mountain helpers. Also Rasmussen would be very cheap as his personal sponsor will pay his salary.
If Ricco and Vino can come back to the pro tour, then rasmussen could too, is my opinion, i know many disagree
He would be an interesting lieutenant for AC He hasn't done more harm to the tour than Vino did in 2007 or Ricco, and Basso for that matter.
And btw: Christian Prudhomme = et arrogant fransk røvhul
He has done more harm to the Tour than those guys. He has been making sure that everyone has heard of the "unjust" that happened to him back then and the unjust that is happening to him now. And he will make sure to tell everyone if he returns to the tour and ASO will not like the bad PR that he will bring.
And finally, don't write danish on an english forum, if you don't have the guts to tell everyone that Prudhomme is "an arrogant french asshole" then don't tell a minority of the forum.

What did Basso do that Mr.Contador didn't do (many more for that matter)? They used the same products from the same doctor, not?
So your theory is that Riis is going to sign a rider he previously fired from the team for refusing to be a team player and being hated by the entire squasd?

Actually Rasmussen has said he would love to be a domestique for Contador under Riis. And Riis has said that he thinks Michael deserves to get back into the game, be it on his team or another is something time will tell.
Not that I like Prudhomme much, but calling him an arse hole for not wanting some dopeheads back in the race, is a bit... regrettable ?!
If I were to call him that, it'd rather be for letting some of them in, or back in...

Because i like his riding style and he is fun to watch and if we can't cheer for riders which have cheated earlier, what's the point in watching?
It wouldn't be so many riders anyway to like then.
Cheer for riders who do their job honestly ? Common sense...
If Ricco was on heavy dope and is as strong now, either his dope wasn't worth 1% of what it cost him, either he's still on an equivalent stuff.

I dont understand Preudhomme rules. Who will be riding again..and who is not.
Maybe it is..don't fuck with yellow..this is personal and you will never ride a tour again.. (Rasmussen. Landis)
I think it's based on the harm done to the Tour, indeed, but that is very subjective, so I don't really like it. Would be better to refuse all dopeheads or former dopeheads at home, but that's not legal (yet), it seems.

Then who is actually doing their job honestly in top ten of the gc (this tour for example)?
I find it hard to trust anyone who made the top 10 in this year's tour. Someone who I do trust is Pinotti, and he made the top 10 of this year's giro (9th?).
