    The question is, who chose the riders that have come in?

    Will we see Riis involved at Cult Energy? I think we will.

    All Riis. Apart from Sagan. A Galactico.

    Which is why Tinkov is nothing like the Sky he obsesses about.

    There you go. Probably a justifiable firing then. TCS does not have enough potential winners, nor the right strategy.

    Nah. Skelde isn't really a guy who want staff connected with doping to his team. Danish cycling doesn't need Riis anymore. Like, at all.

    I think we're more likely to see him commentating for TV2. I think he's probably done with running a team.

    It's interesting how things change - you were much more cynical then.

    Tinkoff knows the score

    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    Well he talks a good talk there, but his level of personal interference strikes me as diametrically opposed to what he's saying. The boring office manager types generally succeed by getting hold of a load of highly competent nerds and delegating responsibility to them.

    Interesting though that he makes a lot of comment about Riis just a day or so after they part ways with a "no comment" agreement in place.

    Saxo are ending their sponsorship of the team at the end of the year.
    Unsurprisingly.
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    The more you think about it, the more sense firing a guy that riders across the sport respect and want to work with, with undoubted tactical skill, the week before all of the goal races of the guy you just hosed 12 mil at and destabilising the entire team makes.

    Buah ha ha ha

    12 MIL?????? really. no money for a front changer that works now :)
