It really isn't RadioShack's season...
OPQS would be good for the Schlecks, I think.
I just hope Lefevre is up for them.
They have fooled Cancellara. Cancellara is a beast on the bike. You think he will go to OPQS to work for Boonen ? I think Cancellara will go to BMC or return to Saxo. |

No, I wasn't talking about Cancellara, just the Schlecks.
Schlecks won't go to Saxo, nor BMC. |

As I said in the Transfer Thread, Schlecks are said to be negotiating with other teams - but that's not RadioShack's only concern at the moment.
There's Bruyneel's involvement in USADA's doping case, the possibility of being denied access to the Tour de France, A. Schleck's injury - and the new stuff: Apparently, salaries for May were paid late, and Becca is said to be under investigation for tax issues.

Not ruling it out but I'd be surpised if the team was thrown out of the Tour though Bruyneel may be required to stay away instead? Of course they may implode before then and make it all irrelevant. |

I don't think they will stay at home, but I can imagine Bruyneel not wanting to be at the Tour. All the questions will be about the doping case - might draw too much attention, I guess. |

Surely it's preferable to discussing abject failure though   |

Sorry to bring this back to doping, but I've just read though the last few pages and am intrigued by the science.
I'm not a scientist and don't understand the chemistry that's discussed. I am intrigued by the wattage figures.
How are they calculated? I know that these days people have power cranks that give figures, but how do we know the wattage from the past? How do we know what the acceptable power outputs are?
I'm sorry if these seem like stupid questions, but they are genuine questions. I'm not trying to challenge anyone's positions on doping, just trying to understand some of the facts. |

It's tough, you can't find a number which decrees that everyone above that number is doping, and everyone below is clean. That said, this post, and the three linked at the front have quite a nice analysis, written around the 2010 tour.: https://www.sports...ction.html

https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/usa-c...selections U.S. Olympic road team. I'm very happy Horner made it

To be replaced or not? If so, who would be ready for such a late call-up?
I guess one more wildcard team would be given spot. It's still big speculation.
I guess any French teams would love to have opporutnity for start in Tour, even with not best prep.
All the French Pro Continental teams are there already.
Not Bretagne-Schuller.
Ah somehow in my head I thought they were Continental.

According to L'Equipe, Festina might co-sponsor Euskaltel in 2013. |

Euskaltel - Festina?
It doesn't sound right to me. But if they can bring in some budget, they'll be more than welcome. |

Hmm, well I can understand why they'd let Phinney ride, he was world champ TT at the juniors.
Though Zabriskie has a lot of expierence and would definitely do well, also. |

If you want to ride TT, you have to be included and ride in the RR

Ah, I didn't know that, thanks
Out of that selection, I'd pick Phinney as well. |
