    Rihs is loaded, he could buy all three riders with loose change.

    I'd heard the Cancellera suggestion last year. Swiss owned team would like the best Swiss rider.

    I guess it depends if Riis manages to get someone to sponsor his team for next year
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    He could pay for the team like I pay for my own bike and spares, I think he's a billionaire. In Swiss Francs.

    apparently they got sponsors from luxembourg. Rumours about this are going since a while.

    Ah, they've got Marc Biver on the case [eyebrow raise]

    Someone needs to have a word in Rihs ear, preferably with the Phonak turned up to 11, before it all ends in tears.

    No. Gérard Lopez, Flavio Becca and Eric Lux. But Biver also talked about a new, luxembourg-based team some weeks ago.
