    Yeah he is a doping sympathiser and characterless rider. If he stops riding I don't think anyone will notice or care.

    Goes to look for 2013 prediction thread...

    So I've gone Wiggins for the Giro, Andy Schleck for the Tour, and Cobo for the Veulta.

    I may not have taken that thread entirely seriously!

    Hopefully Contador doesn't ride the Tour. Giro-Vuelta at full gas again will be good.

    Saxo and Tinkoff don't put money into cycling so Bert can do the 2 smaller GT's.

    He'll be at the Tour and there to win it.

    Sad news.

    That was always going to happen, sponsors will always trump whatever personal ambitions riders might have.

    Historically, he's only ever ridden the Giro/Vuelta when he had to (08) or when he thought he was about to get banned (11).
