why isn't Hesjedal riding?
also, does anyone know more about what’s going on with C Meier, I noticed he wasn’t riding for Garmin next year but for a United Health Care. Seems like a demotion to me (no offence to UHC or N Am circuit), am I wrong about this? Is he a casualty of the Garmin-Cervelo “merger”?
I'm feverished, or the way you want to spell it
No.. Because Gesink is there... And Martens... Viva Orange!
Well nice team.. MAybe we see them in the early breakaway.. And seeing Tuft can TT again in Eneco.. I’m curious to see how he does in the TT
Nope.. Certainly a top 10 for him..
He’s fresh.. Doesn’t have a jet-lag.. And already proven he can win and beat the big boys…
Considering he just did very well in Eneco.
He’ll probably do really badly in Geelong. He’s hit-and-miss like a smashed and high as a kite Robin Hood.
Probably thinking the course isn't quite hard enough for them
In which case it makes sense to put eggs all in the Lombardia basket.

probably read majope's post
about how virtually every wc winner is from one of the big teams. Tough to win with so few guys.

Meier a merger casualty
Presumably Garmin didn’t offer him another contract, due to the influx of new riders they need the space on the team. United have some ambitious plans for next season and were in talks with at least one other Garmin rider I know of.
United wants to go ProConti for 2011
and hoping for PT in the future, they also signed Robert Forster from Milram and Boy Van Poppel from Rabo continental. With the new /old-rules-that-will-now-have-no-exceptions about ProConti teams not riding in NRC races, I’d imagine United will be spending a lot of time in Europe.
though, with the number of North American-based teams seeming to want to go ProConti or even PT (SpiderTech, United, Fly V Australia; plus BMC that did this year) are there going to be enough European invites for them all?
Love TOUGHt (perfect name for him...)
Been a fan of his since that race in Richmond, VA (US Open) where it was like sunny, then rainy, then snowing, then sunny again (all in one day) and he rode away from the break…awesome…
Yes, I will have an Ultra Liberal MoCo Latte please.
