I see Vaughters has already commented on it and what it could mean.

    GreenEDGE please Iain

    The launch press conference was interesting:

    Already have rider interest and they are targeting riders who are out of contract in 2011.

    Neil Stephens as DS - classy!
  • Another website using sensationalism to try to draw visits. Who would have thought.

    But then again, it's posted on the internet, so it must all be true....

    Those dirty GreenEDGE scoundrels. How dare they come up with a strategy to sign riders out of contract this year. After all it's only January and the other teams always wait until July... :roll:

    Neil Stephens is enough to make you raise eyebrows but I suppose he deserves a seventh chance :wink:

    As for the contracts, that's got a bad smell. It's one thing to sign a rider a bit early in the summer, it's another to do it before the season has even started. Above all, rider being rewarded for points means they have two hats in the same season. If this is true then the new team is going to make plenty of enemies before it's even started.

    Won't work.

    Cycling's a small world and word travels fast through the peleton.
