there is no way that someone of t-mobile is going to have a top 5 spot in the tour.
maybe top ten for rogers.
i hope gerdemann shows something and that cavendish can win a stage or two.
but i hope that boonen wins the green jersey |

rogers is growing. doesn't seem too far fetched. but not this year. especially since his knee is bugging him.

Ouch below par and old squad. Things have really gone down hill.
Teams like t-mobile need to spend more time nurturing youth. They only have one 'young' rider. Personally i think he is becoming senior, thats y i havnt included burghardt. They will struggle when they get into the second half of the tour. Unless there on steriods

Neither Burghardt, Cavendish or Gerdemann can be classed as old, as they are all in the young riders category. Rogers, Sinkewitz and Kirchen arent that old either.
Bert Grabsch will replace Guerini depending on Guerini's performnance in the Italian Champs (Guerini had to withdraw from Tour de Suisse).

I mean from my point of view, 23 should be where you start your main career. Say 18 to 22 is devolopment. They are classed as young riders but i dont think that they are 'young' (not in age but in when they should start to win major stages.)

I think until 24-25 in cycling you need to be considered youngster after that you can have a good career and big expectations

i would hope that Eisel will be leading Cav out, because he lead him out in one race (can't remember which), but obviously that could change or it could just be to test Cav's sprinting abilities |

I think Cavendish will have a free role at the first stage if he will have a good position he will be the sprinter if not he will be the leading man for eisel

Mengin and Guesdon are really old for cycling (guerini too) for a cyclist that is 33 or odler i think the cyclist need to think about retiring to let the young sharks to prove their abilities
