Well, forum time it's April and I wanted to open this thread. (For the same reason I open the News in April thread often).
Enjoy the month, classics and Giro talk.

Good point, that fills the Roubaix/Amstel gap nicely

Michael Rasmussen signs with Omega Pharma -Lotto.
Marc Sergeant justified the signing as such: "After Cadel left, we needed someone else intent on killing reporters"

I like the fact that Team Columbia went from quite a good classics line-up (with Hincapie, EB Hagen, Burghardt) to a no classics line-up. That's just awesome.

Remember how Fuglsang had renewed with Saxo Bank last year?
Yeah, turns out he didn't. He wants more money.
Riis thinks Fuglsang thinks he's better than he really is.
Well, there are two ways this can go:
- Fuglsang signs for another team before the Tour for a larger salary;
- Fuglsang hasn't yet signed for another team by Tour time, rides the Tour, realizes he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, pipes down and signs the contract;
