In fact this wasn`t meant as conspiracy. I never knew that his name was in a investigation 
But this would explain a bit -.- |

Rujano after winning a stage in Colombia:
"I think my win showed that I'm in a good condition for the Vuelta."
Come again?
EDIT: And Riccò has an offer from Movistar too.

Or what he did with Relax. In fact, ever since he was named in a doping investigation, he's sucked.
why the hell is he also on a belgian team with no spanish 
edit: it look like the former kelme star Oscar Babyface Sevilla is set to join the moviestars, he has don a lot of good ridning in Vuelta a Colombia in the moment.

Sebastian Lang said before the Tour: "Well, Dani Moreno doesn`t speak a single word English, but he seems to be a nice guy. He is always the first in the communiy room and mostly the last who leaves it" (without beeing able to communicate)
So at Katusha there are at least a few Spanish speaking rider. |

Ah. That makes sense.
I can't stand guys who go to a foreign team and don't make the slightest effort to learn the language.
British footballers have a reputation for that, and look at the result: nobody signs them. Same thing in cycling: a guy like that easily gets a bad reputation among the teams.

I don`t think that he had a bad reputation because of that. It`s a big problem of a lot of Spanish rider.
But it`s probably not easy for the rider himself being totally alone.
And you can`t really compare this 2 sports. In football you are together almost every day. And cyclist don`t even train with the own team over the whole season. There are riders of several teams that are just in this area. So Moreno might train a lot in Spain with a lot of Spain rider. So it`s not absolutely necessary to learn a language. |

You can't have 5 different translators in the team car translating every message because someone hasn't made an effort to learn a foreign language. |

I completely agree, if you are a professional and learning English helps you at work, you should learn it!!
In almost all the rest of the jobs is not a matter of choice... |

I agree. In my opinion English is a basic language and you should be able to communicate if you work international. It was just meant in comparison to football.
A football player is around the team almost every day a few hours so he probably wants to learn the language to avoid feeling alone inside the team.
For cyclists it`s a little bit different because a Spanish rider isn`t together with his team the whole team. Because of training with other Spains and riding with many Spains in the peloton he will never feel that alone than a football player. Ad that`s probably one reason for not learning the foreign language for many rider.
I agree that this is the wrong way. |

Unzué says he hasn't even tried to sign Intxausti, so he'll surely move to another team. Geox? |

You can also do it the Pineau way : " At Quick Step none of the Belgians speak French. But once on the bike, push them sideways and suddenly they're all able to speak French again".  |

The transer of Riccò hasn't been confirmed.
Vacansoleil wants him too, and their is a 3th unknown team.
Edit:
"I signed up with Quick-Step 2011," says Riccardo Ricco in the Italian sports newspaper. "I am convinced that I've made the right choice. Quick-Step is one of the greatest teams and let me back in high level prices. I hope I can ride the Vuelta."
According to the 26-year-old Italian is the deal is already a done deal, but with Quick-Step sounds different. "There's nothing official," said spokesman Alessandro Tegner to Sporza.
