Wow, no Fabian-offence, please. He's one of the best guys in the peloton, I believe. For being world class, he's surprisingly friendly, compared to footballers for example 
But Rodriguez' schedule is crazy, wonder if he'll pull it off! |

And that schedule will be raced in Katusha, or did I miss something? |

Probably, 100% sure he's going to race for Katusha next year. The worst thing is that Katusha, beeing now a PCT team, doesn't have the assurance of racing all those races. |

Well if Katusha arent guaranteed entry to those races, suggesting now that J-Rod will ride them seems like a good way to achieve those wildcards!

He's said that if Katusha isn't WT he'll leave, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Announcing such a schedule is also a P.R. piece. That should incite organizers to invite Katusha on those races.
Maybe he'd have announced a less intensive schedule, had a WT spot been granted for his team next season. |

Cavendish to replace Boonen at San Luis due to medical reasons. Van Den Broeck is also confirmed.
Bentacur, Nibali, Kessiakof, Peraud, Modolo, Sagan, Cobo, Castroviejo, Ventoso, Chavanel, Howard are all so far scheduled to ride San Luis as the biggest names along the Colombian teams that should prove difficult to beat.
Stellar line up so far. All looking good for a great race along TdU.

Contador:
San Luis, Oman, Tirreno. Rest of schedule to be decided later.
EDIT: Then again, last season he and Riis seemed to be chopping and changing his schedule differently every week so god knows if he'll stick to that

What are the medical reasons?

The team doctor told him to wins sprints again he had to get to the white line first. So he had a cocaine relapse.

First time I heard that one
Is it already known when Cavendish and Boonen will ride together for the first time?

According to Boonen, only the TdF.
In reality, probably MSR

Add to that Purito and Contador ofc, and Pozzato and Van Garderen who were confirmed by the race organizers a couple of weeks ago. That to a race won by a rider riding in a national team 4 years ago

Sky released their 2013 schedule. No big changes. They'll ride Le Samyn, Giro del Trentino & USA Pro Challenge for the first time.
Overall they reduce their schedule slightly, ohh and their website, especially rider's pages looks freaking amazing.

Wow, have to agree. Real nice website from Sky.
Though this is in the wrong thread, it's January, maybe you missed this little thing called New Year? |
