Astana signs up with Dr. Damsgaard!

Bruyneel announced as Astana GM with Gallopin as lead DS.  Biver paid off (apparently) and gone away.  They'll use Dr. Ramsus [oops, Rasmus] Damsgaard as doping consultant -- the phrase was "will work with."  

Kazakh Cycling Federation says the team will have no dealings either directly or indirectly with "any of the implicated team members."  Vino, that means you.

Roster to be announced later.

I propose
we change things around a bit to refer to the Kazakh Federation of Cycling as KFC. Like their fastfood counterpart they have a history of being oily, slippery, and possibly half baked.

I'm trying to picture
the folks who bought all of those usps and disco kits in Astana baby-blue . . .

and having a difficult time, and then my suggests the image of LL clad Borat-style.

This whole transaction is just wrong on so many levels . . .

in this kit

Astana or Phonak?
Just got back from Performance Bikes and they had a whole slew of team caps.

Astana or Phonak?

Phonak. For sure.
