Cervelo, no chance ... But I didn't get the joke 
The team will be BMW, i'm pretty sure of that...

It's BMC and for 3 years: https://www.bmcracingteam.com/index.ph...=8&L=0
Now they need a couple of climbers, i only see Frank, maybe Lloyd goes with Cadel. |

BMC 
He can't complain if he doesn't get any help in the mountains now either... He chose a team without virtually any riders who can climb well enough |

As someone else said Bad Move Cadel.
It's all about the money. Have no doubt.

Yeah, they're fine for the flats but don't think they can grab some very good climbers at the moment. Cadel's confirmation: https://www.cadelevans.com.au/cadelsdi...diary.aspx |

Oops...  . I mean BMC of course 
Not the smartest move by Cadel. but I think BMC is still better than Silence. |

Nice signing for the Phonak team, could well be a way into the TDF for them.

Wow lots of TDF helpers there, finally Cadel has found a solution for his lack of mountain helpers.
Not.

He is going to be all alone, all the time. Hincapie is ok in the mountains, but he is no Van de Broeck. But it is good for Van de Broeck finally he will get a chance to ride for himself after his good 08 Giro. |

Hah, what will he do now when he fails at the Tour? He can't really complain about the team. |

BMC is a swiss team more than anything.
It is known as a Swiss/American Team. Jim Ochiewizc (spelling) is the co-owner and he is an American. They do loads of racing in the states and they have a fair amount of US riders.
I wonder if the rainbow jersey will ride the Tour of California now that Cadel is with BMC.

It's a swiss team. They were lacking riders and race invites and Ochowicz stepped up to the plate with a short term solution. The plan has always been to slowly abandon the north american races and riders as the team grows.

Lelangue of the organized doping at Phonak and Ochowicz of the organized doping at Motorola. oh joy.

Boogey on down brother! We've got ourselves some positives to look forward to. And at the biggest race of the season as per usual. 2010 TdF.
