Lulu I guess
A top 10 should be possible. Arroyo could also crack the top-20 I guess.
"Where there’s a will, there’s a way.": Alberto Contador, shortly after waking up from brain surgery.
Lulu top 10? You are drunk aren't you?
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
Frining "It's what he thinks.. But he always do.. I eat my shoe if he ride top 15 in le Tour" about Devolder
I can imagine it.
Not the most likely possibility perhaps but…. I wonder how close Lulu will stick to Bert.
Lulu
I see no reason to think that Lulu won’t be in the hunt aas the race hits the Alps. He should do well in the prologue and the Pyrenees should be not too hard. Now the Alps going thru to Ventoux is something Lulu hasn’t done as a team leader so we’ll see if and how fast he folds there.
after 25 years
we will see 2 portuguese in the same Tour edition.
small interview of Rui Costa:
http://jornalciclismo.com/?p=6831
Since the start of the season, my DS told me that I would not do the Tour the first two years on the team. I was a bit surprised by my call.
too bad they didn't plan for Rui to go to the Tour
or they wouldn’t have overworked him the way they did, considering it’s his 1st season in the Pro Tour. You could see he was tired in the last 2 days of the Tour de Suisse – still, top 15 and team best was no shame. If they don’t waste him early he may go top 20 in ITTs and shoot for a stage like Barcelona. This kid is going to go places…
Or
he could go all out on the Arcalis stage, then just go along for the ride.

Feel the fear get to wear the Tour de France with many days of competition accumulated?
Do not fear anything or know what to expect of my preparation. I can only promise to do my best and try to get to Paris.

If you leave your stinker at home
There is place for 2 exciting youngsters (Costa and Uran) on your team. Everybody wins!
Well not Chris in the Ed league.
And look! You have Uran! What a coincidence!
(No one picked Costa.)
Am I
still in the Ed league? I thought I was mathematically eliminated already.

You mathematically have different totals to me
I just need to find out where.
I like this team :)
It’s strong, shouldn’t be underestimated. Stage wins at the least should be a certainty. Luis Leon has said he’s ready to give it a go, and since he’s never had the chance we can’t talk him up or down too much because before he’s only ever ridden support for AV or the stage hunter. But he has good guys on his side, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they link up with Contador.
Makes sense since he’ll don the black and red next season (I’m presumptious but i’d love it to happen)
"When he accelerates, he's like Superman emerging from the telephone booth!" La Gazzetta journo Paolo Condo talking about Edvald Boasson Hagen.
