Umm no....actually YES
they are just planning a grand roll-out of the Vino-Kash-Chicken trio that will dominate the Vuelta for Astana.

Currently
the Tour de l’Ain (next week) has listed
Has both Astana (without any Kazakhs) and Team Kazakhstan w/ Vino

I wonder
Who exactly is running Astana these days? Is Bruyneel actually gone? Who is DSing at Poland and the future races? The partial lineup for the Vuelta that Cycling fever has-which I know will have to be changed-is amusing:
Horner
Iglinsky
Kloden
Noval
Vaitkus
Vinokourov
Zubeldia

Alexandr Shefer is Astana's DS in Poland
Very interesting thing:
Tour de l’Ain (9 – 12 august) : Vino is in “Equipe de Kazakhstan” not in Astana.

Thanks
No help.
I’m noticing that the Astana website isn’t being updated since the Tour.

It is now.

Don't take this the wrong way....but when you get Tour de France pros...I guess they figure they can charge money
To be fair, sometimes they are for charity…also, the Nocturne business in the UK is new….give it time.
BAH!!!!....Cavendish?!

Yeah, I guess it's all in the names!
I’d be annoyed if they started charging here.

we're talking about spectating, not racing
right?

I'm pretty sure
Brad has no plan to racing while holding a Bah Vino banner….bahahaha

Maybe things aren't as cozy between Astana and Vino as we're led to believe
Maybe they are rethinking his joing the team if it means they won’t get invites to the biggest races. I sure as hell wouldn’t hire him.
If I just had one more gear, I...

Vino wore a "Vino" kit today,
in Astana colors with a picture of himself on the front. He says, according to L’Equipe, that he’ll be back with Astana for the Tour de l’Ain.

Majope beat me to posting the oddly disturbing Vino kit
Even Ricco laughs at that fashion statement!

It's just...

Leave Vino alone!
You are all gone too far! He’s making a wonderfull return and you arwe making fun of him. It’s not fair. Give him some breath. I can stand in…. It breaks my heart, and probably from every other cyclingFAN!

p.s. You better take this serious! Else I will send NederBecco to the USA or England or wherever you are! (:

Bring NederBecco on!
You think I’m afraid of a Dutch mountain goat? Dude, your highest elevation is 322 m above sea level—you’ve got buildings taller than that. Hope NederBecco has a StairMaster, because he sure as heck isn’t getting exercise climbing up to the high pastures.
Fat Goat Boy probably spends all his time drinking Oranjeboom at Six-Days and thanking his furry gods that his Rabo jersey still stretches to cover his gut…damn, where’s Veloki when we need her?

Nederbecco is on my profile! I spent an whole night painting!
And have you forget our friend from Austria and Italie. We have good contacts with those ‘doctors’. Our goat is going up like a Ferrari

The name is 'Becco, Nederbecco
There’s something of the Bond about that ‘becco. Better give him a tux and a gun. He’ll need to defend himself at some point.
