Taaramae
is quite the young talent, from what they’re saying about him and his results so far (i’m sure that’s not news to most folks here, but i’m impressed)
I only saw him in the Vuelta last year-
the stage with the wall, where he blew up. But, that was impressive in itself.
peloton gonna catch'em

cheers
Moo
i replied to the other msg much later
but email is better – i can send you the docs – not much in the way of websites, unfortunately.
How about you? Is there a cyclotouriste/sportif machin on the Ventoux in June? That might be something for me to try. Otherwise i have to keep hearing miss i-never-climbed-a-hill-in-my-life-but-i-did-the-ventoux Albertina brag and sandbag all the time with no suitable comebacks of my own.

June 5th
Run by same guys as La Marmotte:

I dropped him mainly because of his age. ;-[

I dropped him because I couldn't see where he was going to get points.
What with being on a team with Kreuziger, Nibali, Pelizotti, Basso, Benna, Chichi, and Sabatini I thought he would be way to far down the depth chart to get his own chances.

Is this the day to be a cynic?
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.
For all hoping Sagan will go on a tear after this, he is taking a 3 week break and going back to Slovakia
so maybe mid-late april but he has also said no GT’s =[
Oh yeah...I am just sad because I know he could probably win a stage or two and I am a greedy VDS but
it is smart not to rush him

What does Vlad care about next year?
There will always be some cheap kid who’s gonna blow up. Every year. And some of those kids will be bargains the year after. See: Boasson Hagen, Ed and Cavendish, Mark for details.
err
I didn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with it….
fun of the game of course is to find the next great bargin!
According to his bio he was still a teenager just over a month ago, lol
Maybe he’s another one of these cycling prodigies. Wonder what his record was at the junior/amateur level?
Actually he raced all of them and very well I might add...
His road results were not as big but he did have a good amount of top placings in Germany, Italy and Slovakia plus his 2nd place at P-R juniors
