Indeed, it never made sense to me either.
Just so we're on the same page: Aqua is being very ironic 
I know, and I think Guido too. I was agreeing with him (them).

All we know so far is that there is a stage finish on the Muur van Geraardsbergen and a TTT.
Interesting I suppose.
Didn't he terminate his contract with Saxo Bank? |

Yeah, his contract was terminated. Bertie said Saxo Bank would be able to offer him a job before anyone else though.

But Contador is free to say no and join Movistar or any other team if he likes |

We saw Contadope without form and drugs at last years TDF(wait, that never happened ) I doubt that even if he does sign with saxo and ride Eeco, he will be able to do much without having rode all year. Then againg, he could go out to dinner the night before it starts

The Eneco tour is a horrible, pointless race. Surely the best format would be a Sprint stage, a Hilly Stage, a Cobbled stage and then either a TTT or a TT. Perhaps like the first four stages of the 2010 Tour. Instead you get a Prologue and a TT, plus a slightly hilly stage. |

He is doing amazing training so far. He did couple of 200kms rides on his own and is riding better than ever. He might be rusty at Eneco, but don't be surprised if he does well.
Ufff...today a very,very hard and fast training,what a leg pain!But a day for remembering,I got a new record on the climb I do my tests
Thanks all,I'm training better than ever,even my loyal Specialized is starting to run away from me!
Pciture from 3 days ago, doing a lot of TT training as well

Valverde came back of a 2 year ban and performed well at the TDU, Contador will probaly do the same.

Evans will not participate in Flèche-Wallonne on Wednesday and Liège-Bastogne-Liège on Sunday while he continues his recovery from a sinus infection.

Saxo need Contador to return for them (and potentially win the Vuelta), else they won't get the WT license next year

I know it's early, but is there any potential men looking for a Vuelta win this year that could beat him?

I believe Cobo could.

If Contadope doesn't return to them, then they're a hopeless cause to keep the liscense. They would really only have CA Sorenson and Navarro and as decent climbers. As it is their TDF goal can't be more than a top 20.

Doesn't Contadope lose the next 2 years worth of UCI ranking points anyway?
Riis will survive. He always does. Like a cockroach.

I dont believe rider like Contador could return in the bad shape, if he will ride the Vuelta and will be healthy, he is 90% favourite for me right from the start, doesnt matter in which team.
About Galymzianiov, he is so stupid, EPO now 
Too bad to see such a talented rider (well i thought he was talented) slipping from the right path.

Cobo would need to go full Saunier Duval 08 to stay at Contador's wheel.

Exactly, Contador is not Froome/Wiggins.

Except that Cobo rode the steep part of the Angliru faster than Contador in 2009 |
