  • There was a discussion on Farrar already. He has more points than any other Garmin rider.

    Hope you are having fun with the La Cruz repeats...

    Here's a transfer rumour for you: Luis Leon Sanchez's brother to West Ham in January.

    As a West Ham fan this puts me in a quandry as I don't much like LLS.

    Jeez - West Ham fan? I had you down as a soft home counties git who lorded it over the Welsh, so more a Fulham fan.

    Still, could be worse. ie, Millwall
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    I should be a Reading fan, but they were really rubbish when I was kid. Almost everyone at school was an Arsenal fan and then West Ham beat them in the FA Cup final so I started following them. (Unknown to me at the time though was my dad's side of the family are all from East London/Essex originally).

    We still have rumours though, which that site doesn't deal with.

    For example:
    SKY needs bolstering.
    Roche, Poels and Konig all strongly rumoured.

    Some interesting rumours on the Cycling Podcast about Sky setting up a proper development team with British youngsters, a few Sky cast offs and with Bradley Wiggins as its figurehead (and Fox as the main sponsor)

    Mikkel Condé v2.0 ‏@mrconde 2m
    What a team Astana will have next year. Tour de l'Avenir winner, Miguel Angel Lopez latest signing according to @mundociclistico.

    Shame no-one cares about the De La Cruz case.
