They have seen the light!! Somebody must have told them that they needed to improve their TT-skills to become a GT-winner, or ride the Giro and Vuelta. Or the thing is that they don't really like the Giro and Vuelta, so improving TT-skills was the least worse thing....

Some time ago their staff said the Schlecks were going to try to improve their TT skills. It was also said "the Schlecks have great ability, but are lost in training and use the old-fashioned way".

But Andy does like the Vuelta. Ask O'Grady or Spartacus and they'll tell you how much fun Andy had partying through Spain.
I find it funny that they say the problem for having more altitude training is that "they race a lot". I think it'd be more precise to say, a least in Andy's case, that they "take part in a lot of races". And I find it worrying that a guy as talented as Andy says that he's satisfied because they ended the year with a lot of points, when he didn't make the top 10 of the WT ranking nor the top 20 of the CQ ranking.

"The Licensing Commission has given WorldTour licences to Katusha and Lotto Belisol [2012 – 2015], FDJ and Omega Pharma – Quick Step [2012 – 2014]. Saxo Bank has also been given one but, significantly, for the 2012 season only."
... and AG2R + Euskaltel.
Still no licenses for RadioShack and GreenEdge, but they will get another chance to change UCI's opinion.
Europcar has been denied, Geox has withdrawn its application. |

Wont that say that he will get injured during the Giro and thus not being able to ride the tour?

Did they have two separate design teams for the shorts and jersey who just never met each other?
