Michael Mørkøv bust? No way imo. He is a really good rider. Wouldnt call Anders Lund a bust either, he was pretty good last year actually. Then he followed the Schlecks over at Leopard, and.. Now have a bad year (not really Riis fault).
EDIT: Dont think its fair calling Mads Christensen a bust.

Did Margaliot ever do anything outside of Israel?
I'm not an expert on U-riders, but looking at his results, he doesn't come across as talented.
(I'm sure this will come back and haunt me when he wins Tour de France in three years...)
he is having an off-season(fights to get top 10's in israel),but he is mostly known for being consistant and hes goal is to be the first israeli to be on the TDF TOP step.
and one last thing,
i am going to kill some one if PCM.DAILY'S 2012 pack wont put him in(but im sure it will-now its only left to buy the game  ).
The first Israeli to win the Tour? Which of his results justify that there's even the slightest chance he will be a top contender?
severel things:
1)i said goal not a sure thing
2)as i said he is having an off season so look at the result next year.
3)again, he is not known for huge talent or big result, he is known for being consistant.
4)this man experty is GC so(a bit more of a steep climber rather then TT but you never know...) |

Yeah, but I'm not sure it's really fair to put him in a list of Riis' 'busts'. He would have never signed him if it wasn't for Sastre, and signing a sucky rider to please a team leader is something several teams have done (Kozontchuk and Noval being examples of this).

He may have had an off-season this year, but how about the year before? And the year before that? I can't find any result whatsoever that justifies a contract with a (weak) World Tour team. |

He's a consistent Top 10 finisher in the Israeli NCs...

i have to be.
i have him and niv libner are all i got
anyway as far as i remember MANY people mocked an certin texan in 1999 when he said he wants to win the tour and hamm....
so tell me what you think is more likely to happen:
1)a man that barely rode his bike for a year and had cancer will win the tour 7 times.
2)a man that is riding his bike constantly will win 1 time.
edit: i forgot to say-there is an israeli called yoav bear(yup like the animal) and i belive he is a more worthy saxo bank-sungard'er.

This Texan was world champion before so definatly more likely that Armstrong would win the Tour one day (being in 1999) than Margaliot in some years.

Its a terrible comparison.
Lance had results before 1999. Nothing to suggest he'd become a 7-time Tour winner, but still.

it's true that lance had results before the tour but in 1 month with cancer you are likely to lose a lot of speed,so think what happens in 1 year.
and lastly:riss is a smart guy so either margaliot earned he's contract, or riss was drunk(in that case he will send himself home from one of the GT's. |

As Isso has said before, when his entire career has panned out, and he has never, ever, gained the Top step in any stage race, will you be still here bigging him up? Answer? No.
Like every other nationalist, you have your beliefs, and we all have the truth.

His best result in a road stage all year is 30th. How exactly is he a shining endorsement of the Bjarne Riis development programme?

Nothing wrong with being nationalistic, almost everyone here is, and without a variety of nationalists riders from lesser nations will go unmentioned, making this forum a poorer place.
Just be prepared to be disappointed and aim small, my dream is currently a South African rider at a GT which could happen next year, as well as a PT worthy climber, which could happen in the next 2-3 years.

Both could happen soon if Augustyn gets his ass in gear and the injuries behind him

Who ever claimed he would be the next danish star? Nobody. Was he ever close at beeing that? No. Just because he did well the last year with Riis in the Vuelta? I think, doesn't mean he was ever thought to finish top 10, in any GT.
I also wonder how you can classify riders, the way you do. Not every rider Riis take in, is in the belive they will eventually win the Tour. Don't we need helpers aswell? I think he did a great job doing so. I mean, look at this year. I think Boaro and Majka did extremely well. Will they ever win the Tour? I doubt. But I still see them as a success.

I agree that he will most likely fail.the part I disagree is that people say he going to fail for sure,nothing is sure until it happens. |

I never said that he would fail for sure. I'm still questioning why he's getting the chance when he hasn't proved anything ever. He has results in Israeli races, and that's it. How does that justify a contract with a World Tour team?
