EZRider Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 You never know, he might even join Shleck at Trek. Imagine two Divas in a team!
nickc Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 The Wig with green side burns!Would have to change to Movistar and buy a Dogma! He will have to practice his no hands wheelies !! EZRider 1
'Dale Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 Hope so Dale, the Cheshire Cat was cool to watch in his day.Going to struggle against Valverde, Nibbles and Quitana though. Is Quintana confirmed for Vuelta?Hope not...He's young and his talent must be managed. Valverde will have tired legs too. Nibs vs Basso - interesting duel.
nickc Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Latest on the Rider Transfer front: Gazzetta dello Sport also suggest that Astana is interested in signing Euskaltel riders Mikel Landa and Mike Nieve, with Ivan Basso a possible alternative as a super domestique for Vincenzo Nibali in 2014. Basso has a contract with Cannondale for 2014 but the team is also planning to change its country of registration to save on tax and running costs. It needs extra funding to cover the cost of retaining Peter Sagan as team leader. The team is registered in Italy this year but could be registered in the USA or even in Ireland or Britain as are many Italian Professional Continental teams. Cannondale is reportedly keen to sign Oscar Gatto (Vini Fantini) and Marco Marcato (Vancansoleil-DCM) and has already invested in several young riders by signing Davide Villella the winner of the Giro della Val d’Aosta Under 23 stage race, Davide Formolo and former junior world road race champion Mathej Mohoric.

'Dale Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 “I arrived late on Monday and we’re at 2400m, so for the first five days I’m going to acclimatise to the altitude and then gradually step-up the intensity of my training. I’m doing two short rides today to try and miss the rain showers. It’s about staying tranquillo and working well.” Sagan, in Colorado

EZRider Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Wonder if Sagans lower key approach will yield fresher form for the Worlds?
