Neil Stephens (Orica-Greenedge) is considering to start focusing in Grand Tours for next year also. Rui Costa (Movistar) whos contract end this year has been linked to Orica-Greenedge 
I expect a lot of teams will be interested in Costa simply because very few good riders have expiring contracts this season. That plus his versatility (he's not brilliant at anything but good at most things) means he'll end up on the shortlist of most teams with a need of some kind to fill
Biciciclismo says there are 6 teams interested, but it seems just idle speculation as they don't name them.
Personally I think he'll stay where he is. I'm interested who GreenEdge is going for, but it's impossible to say without knowing who exactly is available.

Even though his contract isn't up next year, if they don't make some sort of effort to bring Porte in then they are just crazy. Gerry Ryan would probably be able (and willing) to pitch in enough money to buy out his contract and it is just a matter of if Porte would want to go or not.

No confirmation from Cancellara or Radioshack but Eurosport seem to be pretty sure it happened

Haters gonna hate. Obviously you have already forgotten his awesome 2011 season at Saxo, when he top 100ed several mountain stages, and even top 50ed one.

Vanendert abandoned in Pais Vasco because of an infection of his esophagus. He will skip the Brabantse Pijl but is preparing for Amstel Gold Race.
And Gert Dockx (Lotto-Belisol) will make his re-entré in the Tour of Turkey after a broken collar bone. |

Österreich Rundfahrt might be 2.1 this year due to finanzial problems it also might have less days than last year. |

Will take place with the whole 8 stages, but downgrading to 2.1 is still possible. |

Andy just isn't the same (obviously) But before the injury, he was a very confident person. He's lost 99% of that confidence and it's not going to come back in time. If I was him, I'd skip the tour and ride the Vuelta instead with his brother...

Yeah, Spain suits him, especially the discos and bars there.

Top 10 at the Giro with Saxo but yeah I agree without the "marginal gains" he wouldn't be a genuine contender
