    Inner ring on twitter says rumors of Leopard and Radioshack joining forces for 2012. I can't see that happening.

    Nygaard denying. The rumour says Bruyneel takes over the merged Radio-Pard and Nygaard goes.

    Could it be he's the last to know?

    Can't tell you how annoyed I am.

    Leipheimer's single handedly ruining my coolness.

    80% of my rides are done in a QS top.

    Now they'll all think I'm some loser supporting a geriatric yank who's probably has the ugliest style I have ever seen from a pro.

    R-u-b-b-i-s-h.

    And no doubt he'll crash right in front of Boonen 'trying to stay out of trouble' come stage 3 of the Tour.

    Levi wins a lot more than Boonen though.

    Yes, but when was the last time that Levi Leipheimer spect a night snorting colombian marching powder and chatting up models? It's not about wins, it's about the coolness.

    Goss moving to sky IMO would cause more problem than just cav.

    Cav's hypnotised Goss. Or has hypnotised DB into paying Goss mega-bucks.

    He's said before that the sprinter he fears most is Goss, and the prospect of Goss going to GreenEdge held the prospect of some fascinating sprints. They get on well (as he did with Renshaw) and I wonder if Goss has been persuaded to take on Renshaw's role with the promise of being able to ride for himself on x, y, and z.

    Delighted for Cav, not so sure it's a smart move for Goss though.GreenEdge must be ruing letting him slip through their fingers.
