Good luck, but will Bos really target the red jersey in the Vuelta? I think he is a bit too weak in the mountains.

Good luck with this story. Agree with Pellizotti, Vuelta flat stages are quite hilly, so Bos might have problems. |

Good luck. Freire once won MSR in my career in PCM 09 by more than 3 minutes to everyone. He broke away on Cipressa with a team mate and fooled everybody (and no I wasn't Rabobank)

The red jersey is the leader's jersey.
I think he means the points jersey which is green.
Good luck with Rabobank.

Rabobank: Here we will have two leaders. If Freire can take over the hills, he will be our man for the GC. But if he doesn't, Matti Breschel will be out man. Graeme Brown is the helper for Freire in the sprints, while Barredo and Boom will help him in the hills. Maarten Wynants and Michael Matthews are free riders.
The oposition:
For the ochre jersey, the biggest names which will compete here are Frank and Andy Schleck (Team Leopard-Trek), Cadel Evans (Team BMC), Ryder Hesjedal (Team Garmin-Cervelo) and Richie Porte (SaxoBank SunGard)
For the blue jersey the biggest names are : Mark Cavendish (Team HTC-Highroad),Tyler Farrar (Team Garmin-Cervelo) Edvald Boasson Hagen, Ben Swift (both from Team Sky), Daniele Bennati (Team Leopard-Trek) and Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis)
Stage 1 - Clare to Tanunda
Our mission:
-Top 3 with Freire
-Dont lose time with Matti Breschel
P.S. : Boom won the prologue in Qatar ahead of Cancellara 
Imediatly i'll put the first stage report |

Nice win, but I believe that with the 10 day training camp TDU will be very easy and Rabobank might dominate..
