    Katusha are invited, and he is Russian, so I would imagine so.

    Most other years, he'd have a springtime flurry of great rides in the Spanish one-weekers. I haven't noticed that this year (not that I've checked that hard). Is it time for Procycling to put him on the milk carton so he can storm back to success withing two weeks of publication?

    he has dissapointed in the last few years after a steady rise in GC after he won the Young rider jersey they tried something different in his last attempt by giving him just one major tour to concentrate on this didn't work so i wait in hope he performs at this years tour (if there) as he is one of my favorite riders but agree with previous post he is capable of climbing a lot better and he certainly needs to if he is to compete for the overall i just hope his team are strong enough but i don't know. :)

    That milk carton is hilarious. I particularly liked the time htey chastised a guy with a broken leg for his lack of results.
