Sad to see Julich go - seemed a really nice guy in 'Overcoming'.
Sure CSC will keep him involved - they're down a few staff members too... |

I'd say that that kind of news deserves its own thread - in any case, it seems very weird. |

I thought that but decided for the news because its just a rumor for now, you can move for a new thread if you think its better. |

I think it would be cool if he returned. Then someone could finally beat him in the tour. |

And why?
As a german I would like to see Lance again , he is just the perfection of "aiming a goal" , even I like Ullrich  Also I would like to see what he can do against the riders , but I think thats just a rumour and it won´t be that Lance come back |

andis signing with current Health Net-Maxxis team for 2009
By Cyclingnews staff

USA's Floyd Landis, 32, will make his return to professional cycling after a two-year suspension with the team currently sponsored by Health Net-Maxxis, under a new title sponsor for 2009, sources confirmed with Cyclingnews. The team, run by Momentum Sports Group, has also resigned many of its current riders, including two-time NRC champion Rory Sutherland, current USA cyclo-cross champion Tim Johnson and Karl Menzies.
"I cannot confirm or deny it," said Momentum's sponsorship director, Thierry Attias, regarding Landis' signing. However numerous other sources familiar with the team confirmed that the agreement is in place, with the new title sponsor's agreement forthcoming. Sources have said the new sponsor is from the health care industry. This aligns with current speculation that Smith & Nephew, makers of Landis' artificial hip and sponsor of his mountain bike endurance racing, is a possible title sponsor.
Landis did not return multiple requests for confirmation. Sutherland and Johnson did confirm they have signed contracts with Momentum. "I have resigned a contract with Momentum for the next two years," Sutherland told Cyclingnews. "I have been guaranteed there is title sponsor money there. I don't know who the title sponsor is but it's not like it's a big myth, saying there is money when there isn't. I trust Thierry on that."
Landis is currently serving a two-year suspension for a positive test of exogenous testosterone from stage 17 of the 2006 Tour de France. Landis went on to win the overall, but was stripped of that title after his appeal of the US Anti-Doping Agency's suspension was denied by the American Arbitration Association. The ASO and UCI named runner-up Oscar Pereiro as the official 2006 Tour winner soon after.
Landis lost his final appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS) in June, but the CAS did uphold that his suspension should run from when he officially stated his voluntary non-compete status – meaning that Landis will be free to race again as of January 30, 2009.
Rumours circulated early in 2008 that Rock Racing owner Michael Ball was interested in Landis, either as a racer or team director. Landis confirmed he was "advising" the younger riders and was seen with the team.

In less interesting news, the former danish U/23 road race champion Thomas Kristiansen from Team GLS - Pakkeshop has retired because he want to try something other than competitive cycling. Kinda a shame because i think he was one of the ten most talented in danish cycling, only he had yet have any sort of breakthrough.

Anyone else worried about London 2012's plan for the road race? This is quoted from the British Cycling website
The road circuit will be built after the Olympic Games. It will be one mile long and climbs 12 metres in total. It will provide a safe place to learn to ride safely and confidently away from traffic.
