Yep, some nice signings! Guardini for a future top-sprinter.. Koldo for a good "nowaday's"-sprinter.. Navarro nice climber.. Barredo will be a good addition to your hilly-classics.. well done

Looks like classic riders are very active in this years Tour, Movistar is also trying, the results will come soon...
And nice signings, i like them Spanish, especially Barredo and Navarro+ Guardini is one for the future (bright future of Movistar).
Also nice young prospects from your lazy scout, i lol'd on Mugabe a bit, isn't he relative of that African dictator?

+1
Valverde has a good lead on Contador which may come in handy during the climbs. Just be careful not to tire him out by involving him in too many sprints. Rojas is your man for those, just join another train (Garmin look good at the moment so try latching onto Hushovd) Otherwise looking good so far.
Some great signings as well. Navarro and Uran will really help in the GT while Paolini is a useful sprinter and Guardini is a hot prospect. Looking forward to next season.

Strange stage, with Pozzato and Cancellara being at the front suddenly... But the stage to Super Besse should suit Valverde, maybe you can get th ewin there!

@I want to thank you all for your support....to post at 4 o´clock in the morning,you can see how your support motivates me..
@Avin Wargunnson
We are trying hard but im ok if the wins come later when i need them most...
We are thinking about to kick this scout.... maybe Mugabe is his son,spanish mother...
@alexanderlens
Thanks..
@Maddrengen
Special thanks to you Mad...
Yeah,we know and we are going with Rojas too but he just can´t handle final sprint...normally Valverde is always on his wheel and Rojas follows Farrar or Hushovd...
@Neillster
You are right and we are aware of that.....will try to spare Valverde a little but next stage he will attack if possible..as i said to Maddrengen,Rojas is following Hushovd or Farrar or Petacchi but he can´t do more then this...
I think we made good signings too,but we didn´t sign Paolini
@dienblad
Strange indeed as i didn´t saw any attack and comentator didn´t said a word...yes,we will try with Valverde in next stage..hope he can do good.
@purepasd
Thank you and welcome...nice to have you here.

Good racing so far in the Tour. Valverde does good always participating in the final sprints and taking time on the opponents with that. Remarkable tactic from Gutierrez to always chase the break solo..
And very nice that you signed Guardini and Uran!

@dienblad
Thanks...we are very optimistic for 2012..
@Spilak23
Thanks....about Gutiérrez im not sure to interpret your words as beeing sarcastic or not...but i explain...we attack in every stage and every time peloton catch us again...then we stay calm and others attack...peloton let them go....later,gap increases and no more attacks...its when we go for it..only chance..

The attack was too early, but you probably would not have beaten Evans.....

You're updating fastttt 
The results are improving every stage, Valverde on stage 5 being a highlight and making precious time on other GC's contenders.
Great signings, realistic and should add to your team a lot. Good you got Uran back. Guardini's problem is the hills though, hope he has some potential there or otherwise become someone like Bos.
Unlucky Valverde, Evans looks great though, but Valverde showed he's getting better and better once again, attacking first.Good luck in the next stages
