Its a miracle that Riis can do it again and again.. He can be in worst situation and just comes out of it as a winner. Dont know how he do it.. |

I kinda like the new jersey.. The colors are clashing a bit but that looks somewhat cool anyway.. any shots of the back?
Although, what kinda name is that?? Saxo Bank - Tinkoff Bank. It's going to sound reaaly stupid. Why not just call it Saxo Bank - Tinkoff

For me a great name would be SaxoKoff, Team SaxoKoff that sounds nice, think i will call them that.

Cool stuff. Now, time to reunite half-assed dopers like Kolobnev with Riis' special training programs. Should be entertaining. |

After all the rumours about Euskaltel's future, now it's official:
- The team won't fold
- No new secondary sponsor, and no separation from the Fundación Euskadi, so the team name will still be Euskaltel - Euskadi
- Bigger budget
- Whether they keep their Basque only policy or not will be in their manager's hands, and that will be Igor González de Galdeano

That's good. It's always nice to have stability in a team.
(Just take a look at the Schlecks, they practically never stay in the same team for two years I think they'd perform better if they did.) |

They spent many years with CSC, then joined Leopard which now is RSNT. So Frank has been in 2 or 3 teams since 2002 while Andy has been in 2 or 3 teams since 2004.

Oh, okay, then I was misinformed earlier, my apologies.
Though they don't really hit it off in RSNT, huh  |

That´s a totally different matter which can hardly be argued.

Why? All their co sponsors always stick with the team, but the title changes every year, for what?

Are they really calling themselves Team Saxo Bank - Tinkoff Bank? Sounds ridiculous. At least they could've removed the "Bank".
