Janez Brajkovic is being rumoured to Saxo Bank. He's said to be unhappy wth the fact that he didn't get to ride any of the Grand Tours as a captain for Astana, and wth Armstrong's presence in the next season, it seems even more unlikely that it will happen.
Brajkovic does have a contract with Astana for 2009, though, so it'll probably be expensive for Riis to buy him out of his contract. |

It's being discussed on several Danish forums, including Saxo Bank's official one:

Is there any truth to it?

Given your level you could probably ride as a leader (or a very protected rider) in some Pro Tour teams with less leaders than Astana.
Doesn't that tempt you on a short term ?
I was also wondering what your training (or non-training given it's late October) schedule is at the moment. |

Well, the question is: Are you happy with your situation at Astana? You didn't get to ride any of the grand tours this year although you had a great Vuelta in 2006.
And with the team being even stronger in 2009, you might not get to ride any grand tours again which I suppose is your goal, now that you're over the sickness that you've been through. |

It all depends on condition at that certain point. I will have lots of chances to do well.
About my training: just riding and enjoying sunny days. (2-3h /day) |

Worries? I want you to join Saxo Bank. A final quality signing for the team would be good. So, go negotiate!  |

Well, I doubt he knows for sure which GTs he'll ride right now when the routes haven't even been announced 
Unless of course he's guaranteed on the Tour team, or what I find more likely, as a protected rider/leader at the Vuelta

You would.
Also, it is a lot easier when you have the guy being rumored for a transfer be able to come here and tell you

Except for the fact that I don't thinkt that he or any other pro cyclist would reveal a future transfer on some random forum |

Yes, but he did reveal some of his feelings on the subject.

I don't understand the move by Phinney. It appeared he had a good thing with Garmin. They were supporting the Phinney Foundation, he lives is Boulder where the team HQ is located. He would ride with some of his buddies (Danny Summerhill). I guess he was enamored by the Armstrong/Merckx connection. |
