So it's natural that if they have a German rider who is one of the best riders in the world, then that rider would take precedence over a Kazahk rider - albeit one of the best riders in the world too.

Exactly, and that is the way it should be. Vino seems to be a great rider and has an explosive attack, but Johan seems to like the system of winning in the tt and then protecting the lead. And that seems to be the winning formula over the past 10 TDF's. Vino seemed to show some excellent recovery on the slopes ..... And he is needed by the French to salvage some hope for a TDF victory in the future. A rider on a French team who has the ability to win the TDF will be a popular and well paid rider I think.

Expect to see Sinkerwitz (spelling?) from QuickStep to be fined for agreeing terms with T-Mobile outside the trade zone.

Rogers nor T-Mobile have confirmed that he will ride for them next year BUT we all know that the agents have spoken and probably agreed terms.

Vino has just stated he will not renew his contract and not that he has signed with a new team.



Thanks for that clarification : I wasn't aware that the UCI had actually legislated about the timeframe for when riders can talk to other teams.
(Bit like the Premiership windom during the soccer season, eh ?).
