Greipel back to HTC? This is pure rumour (which I just made up) but I reckon it might just make sense what with the disintegration of Omega-Pharma Lotto and Cav seemingly Sky-bound...."Difficult, difficult, lemon difficult"0

My memory may be faulty, but wasn't Siutsou a 6/10 rider? Would Sky be interested?
wait.................I think I can answer my own question. G was a 7/10. Or was he a 6 as well?0 -

Could be a few riders looking for rides next year, going to be a buyers market I fancy.
So Kenny VH could be part of Cavs leadout.0 -

Only in the stages before they hit the mountains. Or hills.
I'm a big Kenny fan, but, as Prudhomme said, he's the worst climber in the pro-peloton.0 -

Can George potentially now break the record for TDF's ridden??0 -
Indeed he can- just think of the stream of verbal diarrhoea to be spouted from Phil and Paul .0

Promising Belgian Gianni Meersman (FDJ) will ride for Radio Shack in 2012. Meersman actually turned pro with Johan Bruyneel at Discovery Channel in 2007.0

I'd say that a 2 year contract at 39, trumps that.
Especially when the guy is currently on blood thinners.
40 is the new 30.
Or else David Cameron been involved in re-modelling pro rider pensions. :P"Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Apparently Gilbert's angry he had to read about the Quick-Step-OmegaPharma merger in the press, rather than hear it directly. Bit odd, since he still mentions them as an option for next year (with Lotto, Astana and BMC...).
In the meantime OmegaPharma claims Gilbert is still contracted to ride with them for next year, and as the team doesn't fold, claim him or a huge transfer payment.0 -

At least he's had the decency to be crap since he came back from his doping ban. I am really uncomfortable with those riders(not just from khazakstan) who come back just as strong as before they were caught.0 -
Lofkvist signed for another year with Sky. Little suprising that one - he hasn't had a stella year...http://www.georgesfoundation.org

well that was a rubbish post wasn't it?
sorry... forgot Mr & Mrs Vellits had two boys wot rode bicycles for a living. And in haste to post (long story) lumped everyone into sponsoring Belgian superteam... which may not be too far from the truth if half the stories/leaks are to be believed (it seems everyone and their dog are linked with them)0 -

He hasn't done much since he moved to Sky full stop. Looking at their roster, he and Simon Gerrans have been the two main guys that have consistently underperformed for Sky across the two years."I have a lovely photo of a Camargue horse but will not post it now" (Frenchfighter - July 2013)0 -
cycling news transfer story has Adam Blyth leaving omega but doesn't say where he is going? As he is British should we hazard guess that he is Skybound?
is there still a squad size limit?0 -

Gerrans was doing his job well this year - he was Wiggins' bodyguard and did that fine until - oh....http://www.georgesfoundation.org

He's going to BMC. I think that's more or less been confirmed.Twitter: @RichN950
