I think the look on Brammeier's face makes his feelings on the matter fairly clear. Especially given some of his past views on the Asia Tour.
Not just the Asia Tour, the TPT team in particular against whom he and Champion Systems had the pleasure of racing at TdQL last year0 -
So, proof Iran does have nuclear programme."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

The result is impressive enough on its own, and even more so when you consider that Chaves was involved in a huge crash at the Trofeo Laigueglia early last year and missed an entire year of racing.
“I am really happy. It’s incredible this result, after one year with no races and no good training. I want to say thank you to the guys [at Orica-GreenEDGE], Shane, Alvaro, Neil for the opportunity in this team. This is one to say thank you,” Chaves said to Cycling News after stage 4.
The crash last February left Chaves with a long list of injuries — including a compound fracture to his right collarbone and several facial injuries — and required multiple surgeries before he was able to get back on the bike.
Last year he received an offer to ride with Orica-GreenEDGE — an offer that helped spur him on, to get back to his best.
“I was really surprised and it is one very important reason that I continued to fight. There were days when I thought ‘no more’, but the contract was on the table and it was the main reason to continuing to fight, to work and to work on my shoulder.”
And now the young Colombian is keen to repay the faith Orica-GreenEDGE showed in him.
“I want a result for Orica-GreenEDGE, because they helped me and maybe in the future I can repay them.”Contador is the Greatest0 -

GC winner:
“I promise that I and all other riders on our team are clean. We are clean and we work hard and we do hard training always,” said Pourseyedi Golakhour in the post race conference. “Now I am training and doing a lot of hard work. Before we came here we did a training camp in Iran and other big countries. At the moment our country is cold so we went for some hot weather. Right now I am doing a lot of hard work and hard training. I am in a strong team and I will do my best for cycling and to keep cycling every day.”Contador is the Greatest0 -
